Compulsion

Here is something that I’m afraid to actually put online.
It’s perhaps the most simple drawing I ever published. Actually I didn’t draw it. I picked up a pencil today at work and it drew itself. …and I don’t know what it means or where it came from, but I think it means something and it is torturing me and I feel great unease looking upon it.
This night I had a round of lucid dreaming and it’s been over 20 years since I’ve done something like that. And the unreality of my night projected itself into my day and this image (as simple and inelegant as it is) thrust itself from my hand …and I cannot get it out of my mind.
So, for insanity’s sake I’m putting it online here to push the image to those that must see it. If it means something to you please let me know. It brings uneasiness and some foreboding to me.
The only way I can relate it to you is that Chthulhu is rising and he IS projecting his insanity to the artists of the world to foretell of His coming.
Or perhaps I’m just insane?
I might modify this image for color but everything in my soul tells me that it is pure as it is and I can’t think of another thing I’m supposed to do to it.
I rendered it in pencil first but transformed it into pure digital and that is all you see now.
I’m done with it.
Only comment if you think you know what this image might be.

This is not designed for faves. No faves please. Tell me what it means.

The Pkunk fighters have a high fire rate. they will be most helpful in ship to ship fighting.
A model of the structure of some Molecular body of atoms;
A geometric shape irregularly broken into it's "skeleton" of lines and vertices - as well as several other abstract shapes in this vein that shift as I look, and thus a model that varies based on perspective;
a constellation, an optical illusion, a dreidel etc.
As for it's mystic connotations (if there are any beyond the realm of dreams) i couldn't say as I do not dare but guess on as to that which is "Supernature."
I like to think it's a Cosmic Muse trying to give shape to a new form of expression.
I do think there is some "other" kind of inspiration here, something otherworldly.
Much thanks, dear Malum.
Maybe its a Whatchamacallit!

Or aliens have made crop circles in your brain.
Crop circles are a definite possibility too. :D

I do apologize, but this has remained my only fav for 5 years.
I do still get the Tissot indicatrix vibe. This space would be strange, more curved as one moves away from the central - negative curvature at that. Out universe is somewhat like that, expanding faster and faster over time.
Now, it also feels like it is trying to specify a position, there is a very real *place* associated with this image. A centre.
I do not think it is desirable to be in said place.
