Folded Eshgh is an interactive, 3D-printed sculpture exploring the fluid ambiguity of human emotion. Utilizing thin, semi-transparent layers of flexible filament, the work features a modular system of pins and holes that allow the viewer to intuitively shape the material, mirroring the unpredictable flow of "Eshgh" (Love - عشق).

In Farsi, the concept of love is articulated through over seven distinct words, each representing different kinds or intensities of feeling that can coexist or transform into one another. These words are printed directly onto the surface, overlapping and intersecting as the piece is folded. Each configuration creates a unique, accidental interplay of text and structure, capturing the shifting, intangible affects of a multifaceted emotional experience
