Folding Light
Instructor: Akizawa Li
Site: Taipei, Taiwan
Paper gives an impression of purity and whiteness, and the different folds create various shadows, giving it a unique appearance. I have used two ribbons interlaced and surrounding each other to enhance the shape, and the lighting around it creates different effects through the manipulation of space. The primary structure is positioned at the folding point, symbolizing how the creases in paper contribute to its structural strength.

Shi Lin Paper (Taiwan Paper Industry Company) was formerly known as Taiwan Paper Co., Ltd., established in 1918. During the Republic of China era, Taiwan Paper, along with four other paper factories, was merged and returned to state ownership. However, in 1959, following the privatization of Taiwan's paper industry, the Shilin Lin paper factory underwent reorganization and became Shihlin Paper, which is now one of the family businesses of the Chen family, who also own Wanhai Shipping.
