Does textiles can interact with people in a kinetic way? 

What relationship should there be between humans and nature? This question has been asked for centuries. Many ancient philosophies recognized that humans and nature can not be separate. We are interdependent, humans and nature should be in a dynamic balance. But what is the balance?

The balance is not static and absolute, it is relative and dynamic. It keeps moving up and down in a certain range or certain degree. It’s like a satisfying motion which is hard to say but when you are in it you will feel it. In this project, I’m trying to challenge whether textiles can interact with people in a kinetic way?
