Made from one piece and without cuts through the surface, my works are developed in accordance with wholeness.
Paper is always the first material for my folds and the basis for their transformation into other materials. In my search for further possibilities of expression, I came across new materials such as HDPE (high-density polyethylene), steel, linen, cotton and, in 2000, felt, which made complicated folds possible for me. The connection and combination of the same or different geometric shapes in the surface with which I operate offer an unimagined number of folding possibilities. They are further increased by the changeability of the individual modules (square, triangle, etc.).
So I see an inexhaustible ark of possibilities before me, which at the same time offers a great ability to analyze concrete art. During the folding process, the folded material transforms from the surface into an architectural structure, only to slide back into the surface as a relief. It is the idea of wholeness that fascinates me and encourages me to keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible in order to solve complicated design issues.
