This piece is concerned with the forces at work in it the titanium plate is very stiff and pulls on the steel cable, but the steel cable is strong enough to take it bending the titanium into a parabolic arc. The cable is crimped in two places by silver elements the one holds the titanium arc in place the other holds the two ends of the steel cable together. This shows this difference in the steel cable when it is at rest and when it it’s under strain. This piece combines both my main inspirations bridges and arches
