This piece is about the relationships between stacked shapes.  Each shape is a different fold with different movement.  When singular, the folds appear delicate and light.  As they are stacked, they become visually dense and heavy, even with spaces of air between each fold.  The twine both entangles and gently caresses the stacks.  The folds are in constant struggle with the twine.  If they are to break free of the twine, they will fall and break, ceasing their existence.  If the twine remains, the folds are emprisoned in their stacks.
