The device uses movement, sound, and light to recreate a wave-like pattern from nature. It imitates how wind moves through a grassland in those senses, bringing the silent and almost meditative experience into indoor spaces.

Audience can interact with the device by touching the metal poles, which will trigger a wave from the point of touch. It also triggers randomly every few seconds.

In contrast to the material and appearance of the device, it generates natural and flowing patterns. The light projected to the backdrop evolves in nuance. The sound from motors also mixes and moves slowly to the side.
