## About the artwork

The homepage contains a living cellular sculpture inspired by Conway's Game of Life. Each generation becomes a physical layer, with bright living cells above a fading archive. Scrolling separates and twists the layers to show time as depth. Moving the pointer or touching the surface seeds new cells. Hovering or focusing a contact link transforms the sculpture into that profile's icon. On touchscreens, the first tap previews the icon; tapping the same profile again follows its link.

The contact information is available in the initial HTML, without JavaScript or WebGL. A static image preserves the artwork when WebGL is unavailable. Animation pauses in hidden tabs and honors reduced-motion preferences.
