From a small Moroccan folded leather purse with a mystical character to an experimentation of paper folding techniques (origami) in leather.

In this thesis, the object-human-nature relationship is investigated in a rational and emotional way. By maintaining an intimate and honest dialogue with the material a series of artefacts emerge. Artefacts that invite the viewer to play and imagine their future.
