/*
What insprired me to create this piece of art?
I wanted to create something creative colourful and something everyone can relate to. 
The differnet colours and placement of the vibrant cirlces creates a sense of movement
and energy. The different filters allow for different meanings to each artwork. By using
the random function to generate different size, colour and thicker/thinner circles
which are placed randomly each design is uniquely made.
