Project Description

“The water passes over the stone, but still moves forward. “This sentence is the base of my work. It shows meaning in both concept and code. In my sketch, stones are the problem. Water is man. The white and blue lines move across the screen. They show different ways in which people deal with obstacles. People, like water, do not use a fixed way. They tried many methods. They change the intensity and direction to solve the difficulty. When water hits a stone, it bends. Problems leave their mark. It makes people think. It provides new ideas. It may even change them. In my code, this is shown as a repeated curve. Each line together forms a rhythm. This rhythm is like a memory being repeated in the mind. When the water is constantly flowing, the adaptation becomes apparent. The white lines represent past problems that have been solved. Once people have encountered the same problem many times, they know what to do. The blue line shows the new strength. People acquire skills by doing. They are prepared for future problems. When the mouse is placed on the stone, as if the dilemma is mentioned again, the swing amplitude of the water flow becomes larger, which represents people's exclamation and reflection on the dilemma. When I write code, I often think about how to use simple shapes and colors to show my ideas. I don't want to complicate the picture too much. The process is step by step. I'm going to write a part of it, and then I'll see how it works. Sometimes it didn't look right, so I changed the size, the speed, or the color. I kept testing until it felt clear. This process helped me understand how simple tools can create many different outcomes. Shapes and colors may seem basic, but they can tell different stories.
