Folding instructions, focuses on the vulnerability of the human body. We break down our body into parts and hide those we refuse to accept, it is a sphere of projecting norms and standards of an idealised body upon ourselves.

The book folding instructions shows this by juxtaposing a close-up of a bodily detail with a portrait that she has deliberately folded so that the body parts which are disliked by the portrayed person are concealed. The folding transforms the flat image into a tangible three-dimensional object that has received a sculptural like quality. The close-ups celebrate the beauty of the hidden body parts, worshipping the natural form of the human body by highlighting its wholeness.
