Following the Hexahorn project, I became interested in polystyrene cut with the hot wire of the 6-axis robot.

Through a series of cutting experiments, I studied the material's ability to become rigid or fluid while remaining strong.

When polystyrene becomes a sheet, it resembles a fluid fabric that lets light through. This interplay of transparency/opacity of the beads and thicknesses allows it to be very delicate, thin and elegant, while at the same time highlighting the foam of which it is made.

I made two rails to allow the polystyrene panels to slide around like Japanese paper walls. This is by no means a finished project, but a research stage to study how to expose the polystyrene sheets to light.
