ENVY

Mirror functions. Glass ceilings at y = c. Shadow projections of brighter forms.

Mirror reflections, barrier functions, shadow projections, covetous proximity curves, and surveillance geometry. The mathematics of watching something you cannot have.

The Story Behind This Series

Envy is a function of distance — not physical distance, but the gap between what you are and what you see someone else being. It requires a mirror: you must be able to see the comparison clearly. This series renders that geometry of comparison.

Mathematical primitive: reflection, barrier functions, projection, proximity
