Origami

I explore the vulnerability of the individual through the symbolism of the paper image: Origami.

The masks are inspired by a technique I learned from my mother during childhood.

Fold by fold, the forms come to life: beautiful and precarious structures that transform into increasingly complex constructions.

This essential material allows itself to be shaped, yet it can be destroyed with a single gesture, just like the superstructures of the individual which, however complex, remain incredibly vulnerable.

Every day we wear a face that does not fully belong to us: a daily protection to face the world and respond to others’ expectations.

Everyone, in different ways, wears a mask, without realizing that it is precisely the fragilities we try to hide that tell our truth.

These delicate shields, carefully folded, reveal fragments of identity that, in the end, show far more than they manage to conceal.

Delicate shields, folded with care, revealing more than they hide.
