The origins of this project began on July 10, 2023, my birthday. The gesture began with the idea of making one drawing a day, an “unfolding drawing”. By unfolding (existing) folds on square paper and then underlining the folds, 366 unfolding drawings were produced in July 2024.

These 366 drawings were filmed one by one, with a voice indicating the date each one was made.

Each drawing, born of an unfolding, represents an unfolding of each of the 366 days. For me, each unfolding constitutes a deconstruction. These deconstructions are then transposed and assembled on ceramic tiles, producing a new construction of interior architecture: wall and floor.

These trace marks, “memories of deconstruction” or “disguised deconstruction”, will rebuild everyday living space.

Construction from an unfolded origami form of Yuri (lily flower), on an architectural scale. Starting from a simple square sheet, the principle of origami is preserved. After each exhibition, this construction is folded in four and laid flat in order to be transported or stored.

In the Middle Ages in Japan Tatami of different sizes were used to distinguish
the hierarchical difference. The tatami mats Furniture- kind of had a role as well as spatial and social boundaries.
Since the 14th century, the Tatami is used almost exclusively for the soil. It was therefore integrated into the architecture and became the architectural unit.
This sculpture the result of a play of construction and deconstruction from the size of a tatami.
This specific unit of Japanese architecture is always important in the concept of the space of today.
This folding play unfolded is frozen in an impossible matter to re-fold.

This work results from the destructions of the folds. Rooted in childhood memories, the origami is unfolded and transformed furniture models and sculptures. This series of porcelain sculpture – models is actually the canvas for another project to be developped. They are models for colored concrete 3m x 3m versions of these structures.

This work is the result of the destruction of preexisting origami. Rooted in childhood memories, the origami is unfolded and transformed into an architectural model.However, the traditional design of origami is preserved : a single folded square sheet of paper without use of glue or scissors.
