Prion Protein Portrait Concept Idea

Hey guys,

I’ve been thinking lately on how to portray prions in an artistic way. One thing I thought of was origami. Origami is something that I’ve been into for a while, and I think it represents prions well. It’s taking a piece of paper (normal protein) and folding it into a new shape (Prion). I have also heard that prions can come together to form larger structures. In origami, there are pieces that you can make that can come together as shown in the picture below. What do you guys think?
