The model is inspired by the idea of acrobatics as performers depend on each other to achieve stability in different positions. We explore the relationship between the cubes (the load) and the required tension to keep them at equilibrium. The cubes are dependent on each other and if one is removed, the model collapses. The model includes two small cubes and one large cube with pairs of tension cables going across the top and the bottom of the cubes.
