ABOUT
Cielos de Púrpura y Oro is a generative visual project named after the colors referenced in the Salvadoran pledge of allegiance. The piece translates these symbolic hues into an evolving digital landscape, where abstraction, light, and motion evoke memory, place, and national identity. Cielos de Púrpura y Oro invites audiences to explore texture, color, and motion through interactive visuals.
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge was to use code as a creative medium rather than a purely technical tool. The goal was to explore how computational processes could express emotion, atmosphere, and cultural meaning through visual form.
MY APPROACH
I designed the experience as an interactive environment that invites audience participation and exploration. Using creative coding, I gave users control over key variables such as mouse size, particle scale, density, and movement speed, allowing each person to shape the visual landscape in real time. This approach positions interaction as a core design element, reinforcing immersion and transforming the viewer from a passive observer into an active participant.
