"My 'Origami Series' was conceived when I visited Japan.
I started folding the beautiful patterned paper to produce different oriental inspired forms. Later in my studio I reconstructed these forms, with Gretta's 'Myth of Womanhood' images, forming diferent size squares that looked like kaleidoscopic patterns I then folded them to create my Family Fish and Crow Origami.

I use Gretta's 'Myth Series' because her work is about woman's growth and it connected to my own life. I have been obsessed in finding and researching my own female identity as well as looking into my family origins, and where I came from?"
