Concept

The spider, after spinning its web, will then wait, on or near the web for a prey to get trapped in it. The spider web is a highly mechanical and wonderful construction and it is a very interesting object of art to observe and study. When its web is broken by the wind, the spider will then try to build a fresh web in harmony with what is found in the surrounding environment like a surface, a leaf etc. The struggle of the spider in the frequent rebuilding of its web in different designs each time is a beautiful and awe-inspiring process to witness.
