Mood boards and stock pickers.
You are animating a row of three thumbnails with a carousel feel.
Goal: parent perspective; each child rotateY oscillates between negative and positive; stagger animation-delay.
Constraints:
- prefers-reduced-motion: no rotation.

Why this matters in 2026
Decorative motion can imply a browsable set even when interaction is still a static grid.
The logic
Perspective on the row makes each tile’s rotateY read as a shared stage; stagger breaks lockstep repetition.
Accessibility & performance
Disable the sway for reduced motion; keep angles moderate to avoid unreadable labels.
