This is a three-dimensional installation and wall work made out of paper and glue. The pieces are initially read as a whole - a pulsating arrangement of regular shapes and volume - then asan assemblage of individual components that make up the holistic sculpture, systems of patterns and motifs emerge from the collective.

Painstakingly hand-crafted piece by piece, I play with the compositional idea of void vs. solid in the careful presentation of work. While examining the impression of architectural density, the pieces maintain the delicate nature of the material at hand.
