The spiky head shape is folded from a map of Finland and covers the outer shell of a regional hockey helmet. In this wearable sculpture for defence, an origami technique is used that resembles a design for a fortune-telling game, which means “heaven or hell” in German. With parts of Finland folded as cartridge belts the outfit symbolizes resilience although it is obviously only made of thin paper.
