// Interactive Filters (X)
Distortion that responds to you.
Shift the image through movement and contact. Tilt to bend structure. Rotate to redirect tension. Touch to anchor, drag to stretch, hold to resist. Each gesture leaves a trace. Each motion reshapes the result.

A dimensional approach to distortion.
Map images across 12 surfaces and interpret them through 13 lenses. Adjust depth. Refine spatial tension. Each surface behaves differently. Each lens reshapes the outcome.
Monochromatic.
Structure, tone, dimension, possibility.
