I made this design using blender and inkscape. The hexagons were first organized in 3D space using blender and then the render was used as the reference to be traced and edited in inkscape. I can submit both the blender files and the inkscape SVG after the edits.

All the previous wallpapers have had a lot of visual elements so I went for something minimal while sticking to the hexagonal motif and the white-blue color scheme. Looking forward to hearing what the community thinks.

Looks good! I wonder how it would look with a bit a bit higher blur radius 8)

Blur radius on the hexagons that are visible through? Or are you referring to the depth of field?

Amazing!

I feel like the hexagons are a bit too small, the larger part of the screen kinda remains empty... There could be smaller (more distant) hexagons or triangles off to the sides a bit, sort of drifting away... There could be triangles here and there, and there could be triangles aligned to form a hexagon, pulled apart only a bit, communicating the notion of the hexagons being made up from triangles, or the opposite: breaking up into triangles. The motion could be interpreted either way, leaving it to the user to select the direction according to their mood. This makes the whole wallpaper more interesting, it blends in more, and there is a greater depth to it (both mentally and visually).
Now if there are in fact smaller elements (not too much as that would come out as too busy), the central hexagon composition could be somewhat offset to the right, with more smaller elements on the left than on the right, and smaller elements spaced further from eachother on the left than on the right, creating a sense of depth, sort of like viewing it form an angle.

I’d like to see a version with these smaller elements, you could play around in Blender... It might not be a good idea, but worth a shot.
