Coal to Code: A Multimedia Memoir on Tech's Gender Divide

Carbon Trace merges technical artistry with personal narrative to expose persistent gender inequality in both coal mining and tech industries. By using advanced web technologies (Canvas 2D, WebGL) to tell her Appalachian story, the creator transforms a deeply personal memoir into a commentary on how systemic barriers haven't fundamentally changed despite industry evolution. This project exemplifies how frontend developers are leveraging interactive media to tackle social issues and redefine what digital art can accomplish.
