In this talk we will introduce the signed `q`-counting over partitions whose Ferrers diagrams fit inside a given partition, where the sign is the parity of the size and the enumerator statistic is the length. We will introduce several `q`-identities, exhibiting a certain pattern which we called the folding phenomenon.
