I was really inspired by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.richardsweeney.co.uk\/\">Richard Sweeney<\/a>&#8216;s studies on paper folding. There was this certain complexity in areas that somehow\u00a0expressed simplicity and elegance in its complete form. I thought this came for the repetition of accurate folds that lead for the paper to transform into a very dimensional form. I started from a small piece of paper and created simple folds. From that I tried some complex folds. Then I worked with bigger sheets of paper and created multiple folds. This lead to me create a sculptural piece, which somewhat resembled Sweeney&#8217;s works.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
