Statement

I have been doing origami since elementary school. I have focused on interlocking origami modules and their mathematical properties, primarily creating polyhedral structures. I have been inspired by Meenakshi Mukerji's "Compound of Five Octahedra,'' which allowed me to use it as a stepping stone to creatively isolate various shapes and recreate them into new forms. Combining these slightly modified modules and my newly designed interlocking modules allows me to create different models.

Artworks

This polyhedral structure uses three different modules. There are sixty modules of each size: 5 x 9 cm sheets of paper in red, and 5 x 10 cm and 5 x 7.7 cm paper of in green. The green modules are connected in alternating order to create a symmetric diamond outline.

This is a mono-module polyhedral structure, representing a rhombicuboctahedron. There are 48 5 x 10 cm modules in blue.
