Technorama Facade

In thinking about my final sculptural movement assignment, the piece is supposed to help enhance a movement or hinder a movement. Since my movement is "learning how to dolphin kick" and the first step to that is understanding undulating movement, I am fascinating by this video of Ned Kahn's sculpture which captures undulating movement of air currents and translates them into something the eye can see.

Everything I have read about the dolphin kick says that you must first envision this undulating movement in your mind. This tells me my sculptural piece must be conceptual in nature. To truly help, it must convey this idea of undulation before even moving into the physical logistics of muscle movement.
