Inflatable plastic subunits are fastened into a honeycombed network to form a giant Mandelbrot. Four tunnels allow viewers access to an interior space where they are surrounded by an eight-channel soundscape, composed by Wolf + Lamb, that incorporates recordings from the sculpture's fabrication. The desert winds, dust, and temperature variations transform the sculpture into a dynamic entity.
