Color Cycles is a collection of looping animations created by manipulating color palettes on static images. Using algorithmic palette cycling, the work creates the illusion of movement without changing the pixel grid. The series draws from early computer graphics techniques and uses contemporary tools to automate these shifts. I built a custom tool that brings DPaint-style palette cycling to Aseprite, which you can download here. Color Cycles functions as a study in visual rhythm, optical flow, and the expressive potential of limited palettes.
