MEDITATION 

This series explores the beauty of repetition and form through geometric wall sculptures made from folded paper. Each shape begins as a flat pattern, folded into polyhedral forms and arranged in a grid. The white paper highlights structure and the shifting play of light and shadow, encouraging the viewer to pause and contemplate the quiet harmony within simple elements.

I’m inspired by the patterns that organize urban life. The lines of staircases, uniform rows of windows, and the grid of sidewalks reveal an underlying order guiding our daily movement. These familiar repetitions carry an understated beauty and offer a way to reflect on stillness, balance, and the gentle rhythm of everyday experience.
