Image Reveal — the list detaches its work.

Hover a project row and a figure detaches from the list, trailing your cursor with a soft rotation — attached by momentum, never glued.

Technique

A figure that trails the rows, gently rotating

When a row is hovered the figure fades in beside it and eases toward the pointer. Its rotation is driven by horizontal velocity — a smooth "lean" as the cursor moves.

▣

CSS-art figures

Each figure is generated inline as SVG data-URIs — no network assets. Four palettes, concentric rings, scratches and a mono caption make them feel like analogue studies.

↻

Velocity rotation

The difference between the figure's x-position and its previous x drives a tilt clamp of ±14°. The rest is pure frame-rate independent damping toward the cursor.
