Thin, semi-transparent foil is an unassuming material with interesting properties. It is easily disturbed by only the smallest gust of wind and moves mystically as if in slow motion. It also creates a captivating blurred effect depending on how near or far things are from it. The final model was constructed from aluminum poles which were connected by wing screws for easy assembly.
