This piece visualizes the idea of breaking the glass ceiling through an interactive coded artwork. As users move their cursor or tap the screen, cracks spread across a translucent barrier, symbolizing the gradual but powerful dismantling of invisible obstacles in tech.

Inspiration

Gender equity in tech is often discussed in terms of unseen barriers—limitations that aren’t always visible but are deeply felt. The “glass ceiling” metaphor captures that tension perfectly. I wanted to express the moment when those barriers begin to fracture: not all at once, but through persistent pressure, collective effort, and visibility.

The interactive cracks represent progress driven by participation—every action contributes to breaking the ceiling and opening space for more equitable opportunities.

My Code

The project is built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, using a canvas layer to draw dynamic crack patterns based on user interaction.
