What if an image grid could behave like liquid?
Just finished Chromatic Grid, a new experiment exploring how a traditional image gallery can become something more sculptural and interactive.
A few things I explored:
→ An hourglass-shaped 3D image grid.
→ Scroll-driven stretching and twisting.
→ Liquid distortions that respond to cursor movement.
→ Fluid reveals and color-to-B&W transitions.
The challenge was making everything feel like one continuous material rather than separate effects.
Built with Three.js, WebGL, GLSL & ChatGPT.
Would love to hear what you think!

I built this project to test A civic bureau seals your letter to 2126 under molten wax, witnessed. A civic bureau that seals letters for exactly one hundred years. Write a message to 2126, watch it set in wax, and receive your engraved certificate of deposit. The core engineering challenge was sustaining uncompromised 60 FPS rendering using Canvas2D while handling continuous user interaction without framework overhead.
WHAT I WAS TESTING:
I focused on two core engineering benchmarks:
Precision implementation of wax-seal SVG under continuous interactive user input
Sustained 60 FPS render performance and zero-dependency browser execution
THE TECHNICAL SIDE:
Engineered directly in the browser with Canvas2D, Wax-seal SVG. The application runs without third-party frameworks or build-step dependencies, using hardware-accelerated rendering and custom event loops to achieve zero-latency response.
Everything executes in the browser using Canvas2D, Wax-seal SVG. No third-party frameworks, no heavy runtime bundles, and zero external tracking.
WHAT I LEARNED:
Balancing the mathematical rigors of wax-seal SVG with tactile browser interaction required tuning event throttling and memory allocation to eliminate all garbage collection stutters.
Finding the sweet spot between mathematical precision and frame budget took careful profiling, but the result runs at a steady 60 FPS even on modest hardware.
TRY IT YOURSELF:
The live build is deployed on Netlify. Open it in your browser, test the controls, and observe the render response times.
