This project begins with abstraction. The momentum of the ocean collides with the discipline of origami. The space is rendered as an open volume, a gallery, and the triangles choreographed to leap and soar. The limitations of the long open rectangular space are immediately apparent, this is the impetus for the concept. By emphasizing the space as volume, we ground it and create an open gallery that becomes a background for the installation. Metal sheets are cut and folded into modular origami triangles and installed in sequence, choreographed to create a tangent, a sense of momentum and place. A singular expression of an abstract idea for capturing the momentum of the ocean.
