About Dance with Life Ealain Phoblach

Is e seo pìos ealain poblach air a dhèanamh de stàilinn gun staoin. Tha e air a chuir a-steach ann am meadhan feart uisge ann an àite poblach. Tha am prìomh bhuidheann air a dhèanamh suas de dhà shamhla Infinity matamataigeach eadar-fhighte. Tha an cumadh iomlan air a chur còmhla ri structar air a stiùireadh le gaoth. Mar as trice bidh e a ’nochdadh ann an staid statach, ach nuair a tha a’ ghaoth nas motha na an aghaidh structarail, bidh e a ’draibheadh an inneal air a stiùireadh le gaoth gus gluasad gu saor. Tha an obair-ealain a’ samhlachadh saorsa neo-chrìochnach sgrùdadh beatha agus a’ toirt seachad sealladh dòchasach agus dòchasach.
