Pointillist Eyes is a p5.js sketch that renders a portrait of eyes through sampled dots. Darker pixels become larger marks, turning the source image into a pointillist field that shifts between recognition and abstraction.
The sketch includes a blink interaction: clicking or double-clicking swaps the open image for a closed-eye state. Density and jitter controls make the image feel alive while keeping the interaction simple and immediate.
