Here is a 3 x 3 board that will be used to hold up the strings and will stabilize the crank, we will use two wood boards to give a more support since this will be holding up the strings and the objects attached at the end of them.

this is the crank that will be used to rotate around lifting the strings in order to make a wave like movement.

Pentagon wave.

This is the inspiration for our sculpture. The strings will pull and release so that the objects at the end creating a kinetic action. This will generate the lateral illusion of the moving objects.
