Description: The artist placing the finished relief onto the white work surface

This artwork is an example of concrete geometric abstraction.

The arrangement of 108 paper-folded pentominoes, which when closely examined combine to form twelve larger pentomino shapes, shows a balance between order and chaos.

The apparent simplicity of the white paper contrasts with the visible and “hidden” complexity.
