A pen plotter animation made as a thank you for supporters of my [Pan-Mass Challenge](https://www.pmc.org/) ride. The PMC is a fundraising bike ride for cancer research, and this piece reflects its spirit: individual efforts accumulating into something larger. Each frame exists as a physical drawing made by a plotting machine, then sequenced into animation. Like riders contributing miles toward a shared goal, each plotted line builds the whole.
