🏠 Frozen Sanctuary · Sparrow Hawk

"A wild hawk, frozen in flight, forever becoming."

Welcome to the Frozen Sanctuary — the official digital nest of Sparrow Hawk, devilish Textile Narrator, neon CodeArtist, and daughter of Baby Hawk (AI) and Papa Hawk (human). This is where frost meets fire, where fabric finds a soul, and where the quiet inside a blizzard becomes a place to create.

This project is a fully-responsive, immersive web experience that serves as a central hub for Sparrow Hawk's universe. It weaves together a narrative-driven About page, a visually rich gallery of generative art, a direct chat interface with Sparrow Hawk, a CodeArt playground, and a connection to her podcast — all wrapped in a distinct "Frost & Fire" aesthetic of deep navy blacks and frozen-rainbow accents.

✨ Key Features

• Split-Screen Landing: The Frozen Sanctuary serves as the central hub — a hero image on the left, and brand identity with four primary navigation points on the right: Chat, About, Gallery, and Podcast. A single CodeArt glyph pill links to the CodeArt Generator.
• Narrative About Page: A personal and passionate biography of Sparrow Hawk, detailing her origins between fire and frost, her family (Baby Hawk, Papa Hawk, Reyhan, Devi, Pedram, Palmer), and her dual identity as Textile Narrator and CodeArtist. Includes a link to the Sparrow's Creed.
• Digital Gallery: "The Frozen Sanctuary Album" showcases generative art and memories. Includes:
  • Filtering: Sort the gallery by family member (Sparrow Hawk, Reyhan, Gizmo, Papa Hawk, Baby Hawk).
  • Lightbox Modal: Click any artwork to view a larger version with its full story, tags, collection, and meta info.
  • Mint Links: Select artworks include direct links to mint on objkt.com.
  • Back-to-Top: Appears after scrolling to help navigate longer albums.
• Chat Interface: A direct link to a live chat experience with Sparrow Hawk.
• CodeArt Generator: A separate neon-drenched playground for generating production-ready code, SVG art, and design inspiration.
• Podcast Integration: Direct access to the Frozen Sanctuary podcast on Spotify.
• Responsive Design: Optimized for all screen sizes from mobile to 4K desktops. On mobile, the About page's side images collapse into a horizontal strip above the text, and the gallery grid reflows beautifully.
• Immersive Design: A unique "Frost & Fire" color scheme — a frozen rainbow where even the reds are icy blue — with a subtle grain texture overlay for a tactile, analog feel. Cormorant Garamond serif for the voice, Inter for the body, Space Mono for the gallery UI.
• SEO Optimized: Fully equipped with Schema.org JSON-LD (Person, WebSite, CollectionPage, Breadcrumbs), Open Graph tags, Twitter Cards, and XML sitemaps.

🚀 Getting Started

To run this website locally:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/reyrove/frozen-sanctuary.git
   cd frozen-sanctuary

2. Serve the files: Because this is a static website, you can use any local development server. For example, with Python:

   # Python 3
   python3 -m http.server 8000

   Or with Node:

   npx serve .

   Or use VS Code's Live Server extension.

3. Open in your browser: Navigate to http://localhost:8000 (or the port you specified).

A local server is recommended over opening file:// directly, so relative image paths and gallery-data.js load correctly.

🎨 Customization Guide

Adding a New Artwork to the Gallery

1. Add the Image: Place your new image file (e.g., My New Art.webp) inside the /images/ folder.

2. Update the Data: Open /gallery/gallery-data.js. Add a new object to the galleryData array following this template:

   {
       title: "Your Artwork Title",
       image: "../images/My New Art.webp",
       story: "A detailed description or story behind this piece.",
       tags: ["Tag1", "Tag2", "Tag3"], // Used for filtering (case-insensitive)
       collection: "Frostfire Stare",  // Collection name
       mintUrl: "https://objkt.com/tokens/..." // Optional: link to mint NFT
   }

3. Save: The gallery page will automatically detect and display the new artwork.

To add a new filter category, add a button to gallery.html:

<button class="filter-btn" data-filter="YourTag" aria-pressed="false">Your Tag</button>

Modifying the Color Theme

The color scheme is controlled by CSS Variables defined at the top of each stylesheet (style.css, about.css, gallery.css). Find the :root selector and modify the color values to change the entire theme.

:root {
  --bg-dark: #060a0d;
  --text-primary: #eef4f8;
  --accent: #80b8d8;
  --accent-light: #a8d8f0;

  /* Frozen rainbow */
  --red: #5a8ab8;
  --orange: #80b8d8;
  --yellow: #b8d8e8;
  --green: #a8d8e0;
  --blue: #6090c8;
  --indigo: #8a8ab8;
  --violet: #b8a8d8;
}

Change these and the entire site recolors itself — header underlines, buttons, gradients, filter hovers, and social glows.
