When I showed this image to my dad, he saw it as something flat, and
took the colors within the ellipse to be the important part -- and was
baffled that I said it had something to do with Fourier series!

As usual, I used a shiny texture and a multicolored sky.  Rays within
the tube bounce around and emerge at `random' angles, whence the chaos.

Yes.  See the creases at the first few terms?
