This is a sculpture embodied in ceramic and hanging from tubular profiles and wire ropes, simulating a hyperbolic paraboloid.

The verification of the structural response of the elements supporting the sculpture was required. Thus, the problem of loads applicable in relation to the complex geometry of sculpture was analysed.

The highlight was the analysis of complex geometry elements which link the work between them, using a structural system which reaches equilibrium due to gravity and suspension.
