An interactive Buddha silhouette drawn from a complex SVG path responds to four animation modes: draw, particles, morph, and pulse. D3 transitions animate the path drawing and pulsing stroke width, while a custom particle system moves circles along the path using `getPointAtLength`. Buttons switch between modes, which fluctuate the path’s shape through interval-driven morphing. The visualization runs in React with D3 v7, rendering on a dark background with a blue-tinted grid and gradient stroke.
