Umbra
On 12 August the Moon extinguished the Sun. What remained was recorded in pure code.
About / Lore
UMBRA begins at the instant daylight collapses into totality. The Moon becomes a black witness, its eyes assembled from the same particles that fall through the atmosphere below.
Each work holds that moment between observation and myth: part eclipse, part signal, part living landscape.
TOTALITY / 12 AUGUST / 2026
The Collection / Pure Code
1,200 deterministic moving works, constructed entirely from code.
Every scene is calculated at runtime from particles, seeded noise fields, and fixed mathematical rules. There are no photographed elements and no composited illustrations.
A token seed fixes the moon, corona, eyes, rain and terrain. The same seed always reconstructs the same composition and trait profile, while the four second motion resolves into a continuous loop.
