# Strata

> Statues and soft forms laminated from paper-thin pastel contour layers that flow like moving topography. A real-time WebGPU experiment by Luis Bizarro, after abStr2ckt by Maurice Fransen.

Six pages: the bust of Nefertiti and Bimba con nastrino, baked from 3D scans into signed distance fields, and four mathematical forms, Column, Knot, Ribbon and Pebbles. Each is raymarched with a quantized noise field on its surface, so every step becomes a lamina whose edge is a contour line, each ring casting a soft shadow on the one below. Hover to lift the layers into rings, click to send a ripple, drag up for the next page behind a slanted wipe, scroll to turn the colours.
