Revenge of the Kinetic Sculpture

So after days and days and days of thinking. I have decided to kinetic sculpture that is powered by a water reserve that stores the potential energy. This would solve my motion problem that I never overcame in my previous attempt. Gravity would provide a reliable and constant power source.

This does mean however that I need to redo my entire design contract. I want to something in the idea of the floating world from Japanese art. Mostly negative space with single simple elements floating in the composition.

But I want to use mostly wood and Bamboo to make in the style of Buddhist bamboo fountains.
