Hope Tree is a conceptual spatial installation commissioned by Tokyo Designers Week 2010 the aim to generate a discussion with the visitors about our inhabited environment. The installation required to be situated within the 20 feet shipping container. The construction of a toroid space within a container enclosure was created.

The toroid surface is composed of 670 self-supporting watercolor paper panels. In addition to the thickness of the watercolor paper, the rigidity of each panel was further reinforced with edges of cardboard to create a box form. The symmetry of toroid form allowed for minimized typological variation of the box panel easing the manufacturing process.
