The poster resembles the structure of a DNA shaped as a paper origami. This is in reference to the concept behind the exhibition D-Sign-Lab focused on the relationship between art, design and science.

In a similar fashion, DNA transforms the sameness of bio-chemical materials into individual identities based on dissimilar combinations of sequential chains.
