As a child, I rebuilt planes and cars I saw in movies using just folded paper and tape. Unlike store-bought toys like LEGO, paper gave me endless freedom to create any shape I imagined.
From this experience, I tried to draw inspiration—not limiting myself to what can be done in aCAD computer program but experimenting hands-on with how a sheet of paper behaves whenfolded in various ways.
To avoid using heavy industrial machines to form steel sheets, I explored different paper-folding techniques. My goal was to develop a kind of folding language I could later apply to steel, allowing me to work intuitively and efficiently.
After testing many shapes, I focused on a few that worked well and refined them further, building 1:10 scale models to better understand and improve the designs.
By using only rectangular sheets, I could reduce material waste and improve recyclability. Folded and bent shapes often result in surprisingly strong and stable objects.
Eine Trophäe, die ein Gefüge aus wirtschaftlichen Barrieren, kulturellen Hierarchien und neoliberalen Werten bezeichnet, wird nicht zum Symbol von Leistung, sondern von Ausgrenzung.
Medien-Beschreibung (en)
A trophy, which refers to a system that, by intertwining economic barriers, cultural hierarchies, and neoliberal values, turns the trophy into a symbol not of achievement, but of exclusion.

Wie bei einem Marienbild angeordnet stehen die als Körperzellen kostümierten Personen um Sophie, die hinter langen, rosafarbenen Luftballons hervorschaut, und schauen sie an.

The people costumed as body cells stand around Sophie, who peers out from behind long, pink balloons, and look at her like in a picture of the Virgin Mary.
