I see a guitar and the bright lights of Vegas, Shads. In particular The Golden Nugget. Maybe it is because I am listening to some Gram Parsons. I believe you and Joanie have opened a Fractal Factory. I like what you guys are turning out.
A great retro look you've achieved here. Like the other commenters suggested, the embossed surfaces can be interpreted in many ways and that makes for interesting art. The eye keeps chasing around the picture, looking for new patterns and hidden meaning - it's a very busy image. Some first impressions: riveted ship hull plating, the innards of a steampunk clock or watch, the trusswork inside a complex bridge, etc. And thanks for showing that fractals can be used in this way, it's a revelation.
Have you recently visited a computer chip manufacturing plant. This could well be the assembly line. An interesting image and great looking creation, John. Great textures and colours in the image.
