The project examines the continuous tensile forces within a root-like membrane structure, drawing inspiration from Anish Kapoor's Marsyas project. The structure consists of a central branch with additional branches attached, forming a network resembling roots. The membrane material is utilized for both the structure and the boundary conditions. The “stem” and “branches” consists of two rings position vertically at each end joined by a single span of pliable mesh fabric.
