Lungs champion their complicated dance involving gaseous exchange the pumping of blood-- the bronchi branches branch out even smaller into the bronchioles tubes flow into 300 million to 1 billion Alveoli sacs where this alchemy happens!

A Breathing Sculpture
This kinetic sculpture evokes the intimate architecture of the pulmonary alveoli—delicate sacs where air becomes life. When the bellows are engaged, a slow exhale begins: bladders gently swell and deflate, mimicking the tender rhythm of breath. Each activation invites participation in a shared inhale, an embodied meditation on respiration, fragility, and form.
