Tessellation is one of the best ways to illustrate mathematical
natures of the shapes/spaces by repeating the congruent figures along
them.
I have been pursuing tessellation design of shapes/spaces to attract
wide range of audiences with recognizable figures familiar to them
such as animals.
My recent focus is to show how tessellation designs can be mixed with
traditional things in order to innovate new media for understanding
shapes/spaces.
Boars are wildly moving straight forward without looking back the
past when they are densely packed on a sheet of paper without any
gaps and overlaps.
The sheet of paper is designed as a popup card with cut lines and
crease lines along the boundary of boars.
Once the paper is folded in a way where all the dihedral angles
along its crease lines are right angles, the paper turns into a
stair stage highlighting vigorous sounder of boars.
