TL;DR

Entwined Paths is an interactive installation that explores the convergence of movement and connection within shared spaces. Composed of dynamic tensile structures that respond to proximity, the installation alters as people walk past or engage with it. By blending organic forms with reactive elements, Entwined Paths invites participants to reflect on the interconnected nature of human interaction and the physical environment, creating a sensory experience that evolves with every step and gesture.
