So reflecting back to the idea of tension combined with the connection to the sensitive plants that would creep and close very subtlely, I wanted to explore tension in a more obvious form. these images speak of this tension, and although we are curious we know that something is about to happen so we are cautious. this is the "IN_BETWEEN" that i'm talking about!

"The Venus Flytrap, is a carnivorous plant that catches and digests animal prey—mostly insects. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap closes if a different hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first strike. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against a waste of energy in trapping objects with no nutritional value."

this is an example of how we can mimick the tension of the plants and I am working on models of my own to communicate this.
