Compositions of stacked blocks are determined by integrated pedestals. The formations are not arbitrary aesthetic choices; they are focused observations of balance, integration and boundaries.

Springs within the pedestals act as communicators and indicators, mirroring back movement to provide accurate feedback on the alignment and force of the blocks. The springs absorb and resist the force, enabling and opposing the extension of the composition. The simultaneous dynamic of resistance and absorption, integrates and lifts these precarious structures into stability.
