A fractal wave:
This wave-like x/y Julia set (enhanced with fBm noise) was inspired by one of my favorite works of art, a Japanese woodcut:

Incidentally, I borrowed this image from a Belgian workshop specializing in intricate designs on silver, Wolfers. Many of their pieces have been inspired by the same image. These works, sculpted from solid metal, seem to flow like waves of water. If you like that sort of thing, be sure to check out their other works.

I think I'm going to take this Nova Julia set home, color it with fBm noise, and call it "Find Nemo":
