Story & Message:
No matter how many feelings she folded up neatly, edge on edge, they would sometimes return to her, all at once it seemed. She has always strived for order in her world, and it wasn’t easy to face the chaos of past and present colliding. She was a new person, she knew that. Ever since she moved here, she felt washed of the speckles of old patterns. Still, the stories weren’t easy to shake off. And with reason. – she thought. They were returning, because they once meant so much to her. She sat with the feelings until she could feel a bridge forming between her past and her present.
From my project “Life of Folds”
Origami is the art of turning a plain sheet of paper into practically any shape. The transformation of a piece of paper into virtually anything made me think of how we as humans tend to turn plain facts and life situations into positive or negative ones when we react to them emotionally.
In this series, origamis represent emotions that can sometimes be overwhelming, drive you in some direction, make you act a certain way. You can’t fight them. If you try, you will fail. So many of us have unresolved emotions from our childhood that drag us down and turn into miserable human beings. You can only be at peace with yourself when you acknowledge these emotions, observe them, let them be, and pass through you.
