Origami sculptures made by the artist are arranged in selected natural environments, implying the return of elements to their place of origin, re-equipped with their natural values. Although the artist investigates the creative qualities of white paper in the same procedure throughout the series, the change of scenery brings about a change of theme, posing a number of substantive issues that appeals to contemporary society and frantic pace of modern life. The origami figures are set in the wild, seeking to break the mechanisation of industrial processes. The natural backdrop is carefully presented resulting in a series of unreal visions in a clear statement of the volatility and the ephemeral nature of everything around us. The small origami sculptures created expressly for their setting in nature, are left in order to perish in a poetic form in the same environment from which they were once uprooted.
