Basketball is a form of generative art, where the ballistic trajectory is shaped by the body's movements and the fine-tuning of its parameters.
This is a thought that has been with me over the past six months of practicing basketball.

It fascinates me how the game and its rules—algorithms, in a sense—are continuously generated and evolve on their own, across the world.
Algorithms, by nature, are lightweight and transcend the boundaries of regions and religions.
In a gymnasium somewhere in Japan, people who barely know each other can gather and play basketball. It was this very algorithm that led to the creation of the gymnasium in the first place.
Through basketball, I have formed local friendships.

When I began this piece, it had nothing to do with basketball.
However, as I progressed with the piece, I found a resemblance to the way nets are put up, which led me to choose this title.
