Folding Social 
Exhibiting / 3D crafting / Installation
‘Folding social, 100 Finnish Social Innovations’ is an exhibition designed, curated, and managed by the RMIT Master of Communication Design cohort. It aims to use visual and installation artworks to introduce Finnish social innovations in its culture and history. The massive use of cardboard is a highlight of this exhibition. Cardboard is a recyclable material and the primary material for making maternity packages in Finland. The cardboard is a symbol of equality and a symbol of Finnish contribution to reducing the footprint.

In the exhibition, my job is utilizing 3d technology and cardboard to reconstruct and interpret the Finnish characters and gadgets to be sculptures. These artworks complement our video and text to engage audiences. They are also a strong visual identity for the exhibition's web design and other publications.
