accessibility notes:
- IMPORTANT: it is unfortunately a heavy webpage, weighing in at about 45 MB due to all of the images. i was wondering if there was a way to optionally load the images only if the user is okay with loading more data, but i'm not sure if there's a way to do that right now.
- each image comes with a caption that serves as the alt text. (hopefully that functionally works?) wasn't sure if this was going to be helpful or overwhelming, but it turned out to be an interesting writing challenge and i kind of like it. there is an option to hide the alt text if it's visually distracting while browsing the images.
- should work on both larger and smaller screens
- should work with both mouse and keyboard (have not tested with a screen reader yet)
ooh, also
- functional without javascript (happily using the CSS scroll snap feature)

Fionnáin@kayserifserif I tried to do this with an image heavy web artwork before but it needed a chunk of javascript to build a loader. Even though the overall MB size with javascript was smaller, I wanted to keep it accessible for non-JS users so opted for a disclaimer that says the page needs a little time to load.
Also I love this wonderful work of yours.
@ephemeral thank you so much! :) yeah, i wonder if i could figure out a compromise solution that could check all the boxes… maybe next round
