Approach

At first it was hard to decide if I wanted to make my product related to the the musical components in the piece or the feeling it gives me every time I listen to it. Then, thinking of combining thread and origami, I decided to include both. Since this music is an original sound track from Natsume Yuujincho, an anime about japanese legendary creatures and monsters, the melody sounds slightly creepy but very calming at the same time. It reminds me of goldfish swimming, dream talking, sleep walking, and tangled threads. So I started folding origami goldfish using printed sheet music of this instrumental piece. After I finished with three, I started placing them to form a good picture. First I tied red threads to the fins of the two goldfish, then I arranged the black thread into a messy form and later placed the fish on top. Finally I put my desk lamp at different angles to get different light effect and chose the best one among the 10 images I took.
