This animated D3.js face demonstrates modular SVG composition with gradient-filled head geometry, elliptical eyes, and a curved mouth path. The face appears against a dark background with white pupils and rounded eyebrows, all drawn using idempotent data joins. Randomly positioned sparkle circles fade in and out around the face via chained `transition.delay` and `.duration` calls, while the head uses an SVG `radialGradient` and `feDropShadow` filter. The visualization shows how D3 v7 ES modules can combine static geometric elements with timed particle animations.
