WRINKLES Are Stories
In the 1980s, Spanish designer Adolfo Domínguez wrote "La arruga es bella" — the wrinkle is beautiful. He was talking about crumpled linen, and it was a small scandal. You were supposed to iron things.
So I took the sentence literally and made a series of black and white portraits.
Not "wrinkles are acceptable."
Not "age can be beautiful too."
Not "aging is normal."
The wrinkle is beautiful.
Wrinkles are Stories. Memories. Maps. Journeys. Proof.
Fill it, lift it, freeze it. Do whatever you want with your face.
Just leave something. One line the body wrote itself.
Wrinkles Are Stories — concept, art direction, AI generation, grading and typesetting.

Amazing work
I wanted my next framer template's portfolio showcase to have a standout interaction, not another flat slider.
That idea is now the hero: a carousel where every image bends on a cylinder as it moves. Perspective, velocity skew, a touch of chromatic distortion on the edges.
It's raw WebGL with the cylinder math written from scratch, no libraries. I didn't write any of it. I described the motion to Framer's agent, one prompt with my art direction, and it built the code component, wired it into the canvas, and exposed the motion as sliders: tilt, curve, skew strength, distortion, chroma, parallax.
My part was tuning those sliders until the motion felt right for the template, which took longer than the build itself.
The gap between an effect I can imagine and a component I can ship used to be "someday". Now it's an afternoon.
What's an effect you've wanted on your site but never built?
looks amazing!
