Visual Studies
Material and Colour Exploration
Using an origami-based paper structure, spray-painted surfaces, and controlled lighting, I explored how shadows, reflections, and layered colour could transform the same form into different visual outcomes. The project focuses on how a simple handmade object can shift in mood, depth, and atmosphere through light and colour.
Paper, Light, and Colour Study
Folded Structure Study
OCAD University / Visual Studies
First-year foundation project
Built a three-dimensional composition from folded paper, using repetition, balance, and structural variation to create a form that could be studied from multiple angles.
Introduced spray-painted colour to test how surface treatment could change the reading of the object without altering its construction.
Used lighting as a second material, observing how shadow, highlight, and contrast could create new relationships between planes and edges.
Photographed the structure under different colour and lighting conditions to document a range of visual effects produced from a single handmade form.
The project became an early exercise in translating physical experimentation into image-making, helping me understand form as something shaped equally by material, light, and perception.
Although simple in material, the study opened up broader questions about atmosphere, colour interaction, and how small formal changes can produce dramatically different visual results.
