Kirigami: Defined as the art of designing paper. The etymology of the word comes from the Japanese "kiru" - cut and "gami" - paper.
I have always had a knack for shapes and geometry, so I wanted to capture the elegance and serenity of those two subjects.
Originally a single sheet of paper, I wondered how I could transform it into a 3D figure.
With a lot of calculated folding and intricate cutting I was able to achieve the 3D figure. Trippy?
With a toy lamp and a DSLR camera within reach, I switched the lights off in my room and experimented with light and angle.
The light seeps through the slits of the paper and creates a rather atmospheric daze.
