Assignment 1

The initial idea came to me during a class, as I learned about autism and how people with autism have trouble with facial expression recognition. Seeing complexities where we don't normally see, identifying an expression on a person's face can be a big challenge, which contributes to their difficulty in social functioning.

I thought about how we sometimes lose ourselves in our highly systematized society. I thought about how we preoccupy ourselves with schedules, plans, and various patterns of our society, and how easy it can be to lose a coherent sense of self.

Shown below are pictures of a modular origami piece with a photograph of myself.
