The installation interacts with nature, changing with the time of day, year and weather. The views are filtered by the tube lines, changing your perception of the landscape around you. The transparency of the material allows the seat to disappear into the environment and light up only under direct sunlight. The Bench itself was wound continuously around the tree using three different weaving techniques. The first weave creates the support to sit on, the second, inclusive of the original knots used, provides the back support and the third surrounds the seated person and filters the views above and beyond.
