Birch leaves trembling in the northern wind leave fleeting patterns of light and shadow on the ground. Koive translates this subtle rhythm into spatial structure. Developed during a residency in Finland, the work focuses not on reproducing the movement of leaves but on spatializing the interval created by their oscillation. The structure is composed of perforated steel straps whose existing holes guide the direction of bending. Through the interaction of tension and flexure, the material determines its own configuration. Rather than imposing a predetermined contour, the designer allows the inherent behavior of the material to generate the form. When sunlight strikes the metal surface, delicate reflections appear and drift slowly with the changing angle of the sun.

Although the structure remains physically static, the interplay of light and shadow introduces a quiet sense of motion, making the surrounding space seem to breathe.
