Another fractal for your consideration is the Menger Sponge.

What is it?
Well, the Menger Sponge is a three-dimensional fractal.
Imagine starting with a cube.
Now:
1. Divide this cube into 27 smaller, equal-sized cubes, like a Rubik’s Cube.
2. Remove the center cube and the cubes that form the center of each face.
3. You’re left with 20 smaller cubes.
4. Now, repeat the first two steps for each of these 20 smaller cubes. Divide each one into 27 even tinier cubes and remove the center ones and the ones in the center of their faces.
5. Keep repeating this process indefinitely.
As you keep doing this, you get a structure that has an infinite surface area but a volume that approaches zero. It’s full of holes, and as you keep removing pieces, it becomes increasingly “spongy” – hence the name Menger Sponge!
A fitting exploration for Diorama Tuesday.

note – many of these did NOT follow the rules for render, but they are the MJ interpretation of the prompt – so I kept them. Also, SDXL could not recreate any variation of this from the prompt.
