Shallow "U" Filled with Bamboo, Cornucopia of Rhythms

I'm looking for minimal contact with table / base. Slate Shards will frame the encapsulated bamboo, while conforming to the curve of the cradle. The slate shards should suggest a mountain landscape. The bound bamboo will not only create a dynamic rhythm and texture, but will hint at the conformity / constriction that human development places on natural development, and vice-versa.
