The relationship between reflection and symmetry is repeatedly demonstrated in nature by the moon and its reflection on the water. At certain moments the reflection can seem symmetric, but is easily disrupted by other movements in the water. These disruptions may distort the image and can even cause it to disappear, making the reflection no longer continuous.

The effects of the water's distortion of an image is presented through the expansion and contraction of the extended museum board. The expansion and contraction flows in a seemingly continuous manner, except for the voids where the reflection disappears. The woven and interlocking museum board shows the few moments where symmetry and reflection overlap. By contrast, the farther away the pieces extend from the Plexiglas core, the greater the difference between symmetry and reflection.

The purpose of a shell is to with stand compression as ingredients are forced into its confined spaces. The initial exposure begins with a temporary void in taste and texture of an uncooked pasta shell. It anticipates the compression of being filled with the weight and flavor of ingredients. The taste is represented as a linear and minimal element symbolizing its state before other ingredients are added, which then radiates the taste. The clustered spaces that represent the texture move along with the trajectory of taste because of their synchronized experience.
