I consider paper as non won-woven fabric , it always forms a network as a support, communication, relation, etc.
The infinite possibilities of the material making my own from linen and abaca fiber. Each fiber inits manufacturing process reflects personality and uniqueness, that let me make something like letters for making words sentences poetry.
passion for the material that is so special when dry that is like an haiku (unrepeatable),is the expression of the material itself.
