The Diamond Pods are two 15 foot geometric structures covered by stretchy pornj fabric. Participants are encouraged press against the fabric from the inside or outside. When viewed from the outside, the Diamond Pods take on an organic appearance, with the participants' body parts adding to and morphing the overall shape. They lit from the outside with floodlights, creating interesting shadows resulting from the shifting shapes. The inside of the Diamonds will also serve as a shade structure and puddle lounge with a back room only accessible through an arm motion through fabric. | The Diamond Pods are two 15 foot geometric structures covered by stretchy pornj fabric.

The Diamond Pods are two 15 foot geometric structures covered by stretchy pornj fabric. Participants are encouraged press against the fabric from the inside or outside. When viewed from the outside, the Diamond Pods take on an organic appearance, with the participants' body parts adding to and morphing the overall shape. They lit from the outside with floodlights, creating interesting shadows resulting from the shifting shapes. The inside of the Diamonds will also serve as a shade structure and puddle lounge with a back room only accessible through an arm motion through fabric.
