About Trove

ABOUT / TROVE

A personal portfolio, with the door left open.

Trove collects digital experiments, visual studies, and things worth keeping.
It is a place to look closely and try things. A shape turns in a field of
characters. A shell waits for a command. Images live in folders beside the
words that describe them. The interface borrows the warmth of old record
sleeves, the glow of a terminal, and the unhurried feeling of finding a new
directory on someone else's computer.

Everyone is welcome, whether you know your way around a shell or have never
used one. There is no correct route through it. Read the visitor's map, take a gallery
detour, or slow the object down until it almost stops. The public reader offers
the same published pages and images without needing to solve the puzzle.

The terminal is a real Alpine Linux machine inside your browser. It starts
with a clean filesystem for each visitor. Become root through the little
puzzle, edit a page in nano, and see what changes. Your guest's root account
belongs to that temporary machine; it does not change the published site.

This first collection is made from original geometric SVG studies. They are
drawings made for this site, rather than photographs or a personal archive.
The Original and Dithered grayscale treatments are two ways to view the same
work. Choose the version that feels right, then keep wandering.
