In the realm of art, Henri Matisse has always been a profound source of inspiration for me. I am particularly drawn to the emotions and atmosphere he conveys in Dance (I). I still vividly remember the goosebumps I felt the first time I saw Matisse’s work in person at the MET after arriving in New York—an unforgettable moment.
For this cardboard project, I am exploring how to bring Dance (I) to life, thinking about ways to transform Matisse’s painting into a three-dimensional, moving experience through the use of cardboard.

Considering the easy-to-cut and printable qualities of cardboard, the first idea that came to mind was the possibility of creating a small shadow puppet theater. Perhaps I could use cardboard in combination with light and shadow to recreate the dynamic movement and vibrant colors of the figures in Dance (I).
To echo the hand-holding structure of the dancing figures in Dance (I), I’m thinking of creating a cardboard interlocking system that transforms the flat figures into a three-dimensional, circular arrangement. Perhaps I could also incorporate a gear-like mechanism connected to a handle, so that when the handle is turned, the figures on the flat surface rotate together.
I’m experimenting with cardboard to create buttons and gears as a mechanical structure for the Dance mini-theater, aiming to bring the movement and interaction of the figures to life.
