A-symmetry: Bamboo Mobile Kinetic Sculpture
A-Symmetry is a bamboo mobile sculpture inspired from Alexander Calder’s work. The sculptures are called 'mobiles' because they seem to be in
constant motion from air currents.

I experimented with motion through air and explored various forms through a variety of cuts on hollow bamboo. Bamboo was chamfered, splitted, bent,
filleted to explore various possibilites.
The whole composition seems to be in a state of equilibrium, it gives a sense of symmetry while being asymmetric. These 7 forms were then suspended at various levels counter balancing each other by shifting the fulcrum. Because it is balanced, the breeze makes it move.
