Showcase Piece
2025
Aura Weaver is an interactive digital showcase piece exploring how users can visualize and connect with emotional or sensory data through motion, color, and spatial design. The concept merges data-driven interaction with immersive visual storytelling, allowing users to “weave” emotions, memories, or environmental stimuli into a generative interface.
The artwork aims to make abstract information such as moods, sound frequencies, or energy flows tangible through movement, rhythm, and texture. It communicates the relationship between emotion, perception, and digital art, encouraging users to slow down, reflect, and interact playfully with an evolving visual landscape.
Designer Statement
I invite users to engage intuitively create viusal representations of their thoughts. your interactions alter the composition’s colour, speed, and intensity, mirroring the dynamic nature of emotional balance. It aims to evoke mindfulness through motion, offering users a moment of calm observation and creative curiosity.
Design Concept
Aura Weaver was developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, supported by libraries like GSAP for animation and p5.js or D3.js for generative visuals. Each user interaction, scrolling, hovering, or clicking, affects the rhythm, colour, and pattern of woven threads displayed on screen.
The experience unfolds as a linear yet fluid timeline: scrolling down reveals new emotional “states” or compositions, while scrolling upward reverses transitions. Each segment integrates smooth animated shifts and layered soundscapes, emphasising flow and mood resonance.
