The curved, wavy shape of the elements contributes to providing different readings of the representative body of the model. The reading of the model, when it opens, differs entirely from those that occur in the moving phases and when closed, which provides the model the flexibility to work as a shading tool or as an aesthetic, artistic instillation by itself. This diversity of wavy columns gives the model an aesthetic and functional value at the same time while preserving the principles of scissors movement. The installation is formed by two rings that fold one over the other, interacting when moving and during rest.
