The paper works are made of plain paper. The papers are entirely folded and uncoloured. The three dimensionality of the picture is a result of a special technique.

The lines, angles and circles are raised several millimetres as the result of positive and negative folding.

Those reliefs change in the interplay of shadow and light and move between two and three dimensionality.

In different lighting, like the changing of daylight, the pictures change from nearly vanishing into an illusion of space and three- dimensionality.
