TensFlow
This work is titled "TensFlow," deriving from the concept of a "floating bamboo forest." With bamboo as the main material, the bamboo tubes in this work are interconnected neither with each other nor with the ground, aiming to create a sense of floating lightness and resembling a bamboo forest in the air. With "Tensegrity" as the basic structure in the units of this bamboo-built work, units are connected to form the floating bamboo forest in the concept. The weight of bamboo makes the upper part of the work form a natural curve and slight changes of angles between units are allowed to offer space for deformation in the upper part. Driven by natural wind or artificial forces, the work illustrates gentle dynamic. The dynamic lights hidden in the bamboo tubes further portrait a different feature of the work in the night.
