Three pictures of me printed on copy paper, each folded in different ways to warp my face and create depth where there otherwise wouldn\u2019t be any.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My motivation, beyond the need to finish the assignment, was to use folds I didn\u2019t see my classmates using. I wanted mine to stand out in how they specifically changed my features.
