Overview
Built for NYU's Introduction to Computational Media, this self portrait uses p5.js to render personal identity through geometric abstraction. Each facial feature (head, glasses, nose, mouth) is constructed from mathematical primitives, parameterized and layered into a stylized likeness.
Problem
How do you represent a person using only code? The challenge was translating something deeply personal (a face) into a system of shapes and coordinates, finding the minimum set of forms that still read as distinctly me.
