Tesselation

Tessellation is the process of covering a flat surface completely with shapes so that there are no gaps or overlaps. Think of it like fitting together pieces of a puzzle to create a continuous, seamless pattern. These shapes, called tiles, can be identical or varied, and their edges align perfectly to fill the space efficiently. Tessellations are used in art, architecture, and mathematics to create visually appealing designs and solve spatial problems. Examples include tiled floors, honeycombs, and Islamic geometric patterns, demonstrating how repeating shapes can fill an area harmoniously.
