Building on my previous idea of trying to show a parasite encapsulate a host.

I experimented with different pneumatic shapes in order to create the motion I wanted. I originally wanted to create a flower like structure that had petals that lifted to create an enclosed structure. However, that proved to be too difficult so I took the approach of trying to create a layered structure where each layer rolled in on itself.

I created the first layer and added fabric to visualize a parasite taking over (red lace fabric).
