This work pictures a dense Julia set constructed from iterations of the following Lattès map: z -> (z³+a)/(az³+1) with a = exp(2πi/3).

The dense fractal pattern pictured here actually lives on the sphere. It can be explored panoramically in the window below. (A WebGL-compatible browser is required.) More information can be found in this blog post.
