Suspended from these lines are twelve linen canvases measuring 2.5 × 1.5 meters each. The system establishes a balance between the rigidity of the steel structure and the lightness of the semi-transparent . As the canvases respond to wind and movement, the installation becomes dynamic, creating shifting spatial thresholds for visitors to move through.
