Looking into curvature and proportion of each element such that when pierced through the rod, the sculpture looks balanced when not in motion. This can be seen in the sketches and cutout of curves.

Upon adding the foam in between each piece of element, the structure looks bulky, rigid, and somewhat separated, not cohesive as a petal.

To solve that, the ‘hooded’ bottom from each element piece is synched in, forming a tapered look. This added some volumetric quality to this one petal sculpture, which nicely combined all three element pieces together.

However, the negative spaces of the tapered bottom is hard to measure such that it can be filled to form a container, using solely laser cut…

So, we are still trying to figure that out…
