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 model has 120 modules using 2 x 2 inch paper. Each module has two different flaps and pockets. The paper was recycled using old math exam papers.

The Stellated Rhombicuboctahedron has 96 modules, using 2 x 2 inch paper. The same modules are used in the construction of a Stellated Snub Cube.
