Wormholes Origami Tessellation

This tessellation consists of many overlapping rhombus twists. They overlap a little differently than my usual designs. Rhombus collapses overlapping are a pretty standard technique. However, in this case, we overlap twisting rhombuses. The results are quite different.
To be honest, I don't recall how exactly I made the pattern repeat. I'd have to refer to my original diagram, which I have not yet taken a photo of.
It's quite a dense pattern full of many overlapping folds.
When I drew it, it seemed like a pretty simple idea, so I used thin paper. It turned out to be more intense than I anticipated. This thin paper worked, but just barely. A thicker paper would be advisable.
When I come up with twist based tessellations I usually try to create ones like this that are non-standard. There's no shortage of already existing twist based tessellations. But the really tight and dense ones, such as this, are usually still undiscovered.

The reverse side is just as crowded, if not more so.
I would classify this as an intermediate level origami tessellation. The more familiar you are with rhombus twists the less difficult it will be.
I do have a diagram. Still need to take a pic of it. Will add it in the near future.
Update: adding crease pattern.
