Title: Minimal Wabi — Less, but Better Placed
Creative prompt: A quiet stone garden of fifteen suggested rocks where slow cursor drags rake lasting lines and fast gestures merely scatter. Seasons shift verse, moss, leaf, and snow while stillness, mist, and light tune the meditation. Tea steam marks each completed sitting.
Design description: Restrained paper-and-ink scroll layout with hairline rules; wide raked-sand canvas with verse overlay beside a tea-master column of stillness/mist/light sliders, tea rituals, and tasting log over a four-term wabi explainer.
Visual techniques:
- Canvas sand with faint construction grain and stone drop shadows
- Speed-gated rake lines that persist or scatter by gesture velocity
- Seasonal states for rain, moss caps, single leaf, and snow choice
- Rising tea steam rings, mist veil gradient, and light-remapped sand
- Italic verse swaps and bowl-counting breath meditation
Interaction model: Slow drags rake permanent lines while fast ones scatter, season tabs swap mood and verse, sliders tune stillness/mist/light, and tea/smooth buttons pour steam or reset the sand.
