Type|paper sculpture, interactive coding matter
Location|gestures in between coding, drawing & folding
Material|paper, metal, seeds

Every pattern has its ordinary and imaginary movements. The series is derived from the exercise—the hybrids of digital drawing & material paper, of logical coding & body movement.

“ Folding is blooming. Paper captures the pattern of gestures from both hands & flowers.”

Nature presents various kind of living & moving patterns.

Every pattern has its imaginary movement. I observe, imitate and deliver the fascinating movements inspiring from nature. Started from the idea of repetitive creating through coding and folding, I made paper pieces with the inspiring creatures.

Both paper folding and Processing coding have qualities related to regulation—in a sense of movement—with repetitive patterns and logical disciplines.

The notion lead to the exercises of the folding & unfolding origami pieces in following directions:

Folding is blooming. Paper captures the pattern of gestures from both hands & flowers. Folding creates continuous movements. To fold is to shape, to expand, to contain & to sustain.
