About me
Home — Drag the tickets, hover to lift, or navigate above.
One continuous stage. Home → About → Photography move left over 1700ms; returning moves right. Text and tickets start together immediately. Tickets descend in 700ms with gentle acceleration, right to left. Returning Home lifts tickets left to right with a 1400ms settling ease. The name anchors Home/About. The same star keeps turning throughout. On mobile, swipe the tickets and scroll inside About or drag the photographic plane.
Tickets keep drifting at quarter speed on hover. Throw the rail in either direction to coast with inertia; grab it again to stop. Keyboard focus pauses automatic drift. Dragging never opens a project. The active ticket lifts 24px and grows 2.5%, with a long settling ease; neighbours settle 10px lower. Exit motion starts immediately and gently accelerates downwards.
Study boundaries. Project opening, Contact, bilingual switching and the reader’s 3D story are deferred. Local videos play in the tickets; image galleries slide. YouTube-only projects require an internet connection. Local video playback requires the preview server. The live website is unchanged.
Visual fidelity. Original Figma star, logo and woodcut; embedded Syne. Manrope temporarily stands in for licensed Söhne. The woodcut emerges through a seeded noise luminance matte, from black through textured greys to white. Mobile is a proposed adaptation.
