The unity between geometry and shape can be seen everywhere, where everything has a geometrical elements that interconnect within them and to others. The pleats remind of how vast the universe and represent the connection between distance, space, time, and universe with other universe, which can be folded instantly like a wormhole. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Ploi is a functional art that gives accents into the room. The combination between folding techniques and wire gauze produce a sequence of translucent crease lines that composed harmoniously and give more volume to the shape as it expand and shrink. The asymmetrical abstract shape creates variety; it gives different monumental shape that can be seen in each side and produce different dramatic light too. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The shadow gives an illusion of a more dimension to the room so it becomes more dynamic. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in April 2016 and finished in May 2016 in Jakarta. It was exhibited in Casa Indonesia 2016 in The Ritz-Carlton Jakarta, Pacific Place in June 2016.
