The idiosyncratic design questions and challenges the "universal" design process.

I was interested in the relationship between a man-made paper and a real butterfly; I also wanted to challenge the traditional origami package. The idiosyncratic method took the form of a morphing process. I illustrated different types of caterpillars and printed them on fragile Japanese papers that would represent the chrysalis part of the transformation. These printouts became the origami papers in the package, where the same paper was also used and where a generic “how to” process was printed.

When one folds the paper into a butterfly, an illustrated caterpillar will still be visible, which further emphasized the metamorphosis of a paper into a butterfly that one had engaged in.
