In Pinched Cassini Loops, I consciously force the Cassini parameters to produce pinched forms or figure‐eight lemniscates—going beyond near‐circular approximations to clearly highlight the dual‐foci essence of Cassini geometry. Each shape thus becomes a metaphor for the tension of having multiple internal pulls within one’s identity, sometimes yielding symmetrical loops, sometimes forming distinct lobes. By layering minimal line shading, I give each loop a sense of embodied presence while preserving the raw line aesthetic and ensuring all shapes remain visible.
