"Art on Paper: The Body of Form" is a chapter in my ongoing project that explores the material, conceptual, and emotional possibilities of paper. While previous installments of "Art on Paper" have focused on gesture, fragility, and surface, this series focuses on volume, structure, and spatial presence expressed through photography.
In this body of work, paper becomes a sculptural material. I fold, bend, and layer to construct forms that behave like architectural fragments. These structures are photographed as final works.
The process is intuitive and open. I work directly with the paper, allowing its stability, weight, and memory of previous gestures to suggest what comes next. Each work retains a trace of movement, a moment when material and thought briefly come together.
Working in this way, I blur the boundaries between object and image, sculpture and photography. Although the resulting photographs are two-dimensional, they have the visual and conceptual weight of sculpture.

These works are not only about paper. They are about potential - the kind that isn’t always visible at first glance. As with people, it reveals itself gradually: through attention, focus, and action. What first seemed hidden begins to take shape - both in the material and within ourselves.
