After Garden Before Noon
A backlit panel holds the painting’s contours in clear film. Turn the front polarizer and the same shapes take on different colour.

What the film changes
These four samples follow the same front polarizer. The angle on each sample describes the film axis relative to the fixed rear polarizer. Thicknesses are illustrative.
The aligned cut behaves like the clear carrier. Tilting the film axis and doubling its thickness give different transmission spectra.

From painting to test piece
The simulated panel follows the main cuts of Iana Kochu’s Garden Before Noon. A thin neutral seam and the painting’s fine surface texture remain visible when the analyzer comes out.
A photographed bench swatch is still pending. The small pattern below uses a carrier, transparent film, two linear polarizers and a broad white light.
