Drawing inspiration from one of the essays in Sherry Turkle's Evocative Objections, we were tasked with re-designing an object from our own interpretations and experiences, not necessarily in form or function, but in essence. This project is based on Mitchel Resnick's essay on stars.

The Star Paradox is a puzzle consisting of a chain of tetrahedrons that continuously folds in on itself, similar in concept to a Jacob’s Ladder toy. It draws on the paradoxical nature of stars, as both commonplace and unknown objects in our lives, to examine and explore how a seemingly simple, toy can feel familiar, while remaining a complex mystery.
