RESONANCE & TEXTURE (SUPERPOSITION)

The same molecular structure that filters sound also shapes the surface. In this simulation, acoustic inertia transforms into visual substance. We analyze wave propagation (superposition) across different densities. Lead absorbs the impulse immediately (high damping, matte surface). Glass transmits energy almost without loss (high elasticity, glossy surface). As a designer, I am interested in the precise point where physical property (damping) becomes aesthetic experience (haptics).
