I started by thinking about how the density of strings can affect each other and how overlapping strings is similar to the idea of hatching make an object look 3 dimensional like a sphere. I thought of a hot air balloon where multiple colors can also be used to show the roundness of the balloon. When the screen is pressed the balloon also moves downwards.
