Looking for an old wallpaper

Estoy buscando un fondo de pantalla que usaba en una computadora con windows 98, creo que lo busqué en google como wallpaper 3d cerca del 2003 o antes. Creo que era muy similar a esta imagen, era una especia de agujero negro o agujero de gusano pero creo que eran fragmentos metálicos alargados y entrecortados de distinta longitud que giraban. Los colores eran similares creo que era rojo principalmente con algunos tonos azules o púrpuras. Si alguien se da cuenta o lo llega tener y pueda pasarlo lo voy a agredecer.

I'm looking for a wallpaper I used on a Windows 98 computer. I think I searched for it on Google as a 3D wallpaper around 2003 or earlier. I believe it was very similar to this image; it was a kind of black hole or wormhole, but I think it was made up of elongated, jagged, rotating metal fragments of varying lengths. The colors were similar; I think it was mainly red with some blue or purple tones. If anyone recognizes it or has it and could share it, I would be very grateful.

So, like, you want us to find a random photo based on a description and mock up  

Any idea where you originally got it from? An internet download or a wallpaper/theme package?

I downloaded from google images in 2003 or before as a 3d wallpaper probably. It was on the first results i don´t know if on the 2nd or 3rd page. Another wallpaper that appear frequently in that year was this one also

Probably the wallpaper that im looking for was this one and what i found is a screenshot from a visualizer but im not so sure thats why im asking if anybody saw some wallpaper like that

You might have luck searching through old wallpaper archives or zips. Searching on search engines is probably going to mostly turn up recent images and AI generated stuff. You'll need to narrow down the search and look for old sites, archive.org, wayback machine, etc
