The work reflects on nearly twenty years of developing this folding process by referring to past designs as starting points for new pieces.

White paper is selected to convey a fresh starting point like a blank page in my process journal with faint imprints of words, drawings and mathematical sequences from previous pages analogous to echoes of past designs in the jewellery pieces.
