The code analyzes each pixel and determines the density of the lines based on brightness: in bright areas, the lines are closer together, in dark areas, further apart. The direction of the lines follows the gradient of the image, similar to contour lines on a topographic map—though not exactly, more like an interpretation of light and shape. Even when I use the same base image, the algorithm always produces a different composition. \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0290\/5459\/9273\/files\/image-1536x626_1.png?v=1711650416\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e The line drawing is engraved into black wood with a custom-built laser cutter—a modern precision technique that translates the digital code directly into the material.
