They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    I love it. It’s very simple and I’m glad it seems pretty much perfect. A lopsided circle would bother me so much. I’m defiantly a big fan of geometric cuttings.
