I started working with height and framing. The structure should be physically 1 meter high, sturdy, and stable. At the same time, I wanted the height to be flexible and able to bend in a specific way. For this, I used Kharata, a type of broom traditionally used for cleaning surfaces. The bamboo sticks from the Kharata are quite flexible yet steady.

First, I laid a set of 10 to 15 Kharata sticks side by side and bound them together to form a single element. Then, I created a square frame by overlapping the ends and tying them with rope. After that, I decided on the vertical spacing to achieve the desired height for the frame structure.

To join the verticals between two horizontal elements, I connected them firmly. At the endpoint, I curved the bamboo as shown in the images.
