Fabric Oscillation is a contemplative piece that explores themes of displacement and tension through the metaphor of woven fabric. The visualization renders a precise grid of interconnected lines that respond to forces as if they were threads in a taut piece of cloth, creating wave-like distortions that ripple through the structure.

The piece invites meditation on the nature of displacement - both physical and metaphorical - through its representation of how local disturbances propagate through connected systems. The stark white lines against the dark background emphasize the pure geometry of the movement, while the wave patterns suggest both disruption and harmony.

Technical Implementation

The visualization employs several mathematical and rendering techniques:

• Grid-based vertex displacement simulation
• Wave propagation algorithms
• Spring-mass system physics
• Vector field manipulation for pattern generation

The interaction allows viewers to select different preset patterns from a sidebar menu, each representing different types of displacement patterns and wave behaviors. Users can also capture moments of particular interest through a screenshot function, allowing for reflection on specific states of the system.
