A modular animation representing a (very) abstracted unearthal of a crown from a tomb. For this project I particularly wanted to try focusing on the color transitions, using the same two fill colors to achieve very different looks depending on the blend modes they were in at the times.

Shortly before starting this project, I went to the Heavenly Horse tomb in Gyeongju, South Korea; it's an earthen mound burial, seeming like a relatively unassuming hill on the outside (and it was mistaken for simply being a hill for many centuries), but on the inside are stunning gold burial goods. With this project about modular animation, I wanted to approach this same contrast, using the elements to convey both a mundane picture and a more resplendant one. My storyboard was a little ambitious, in hindsight (it was also my very first project in p5.Js), but I hope I managed to convey a little bit of it still.
