Story & Message:
This work is a part of the project shot in collaboration with the tourist board of Old Porvoo, one of the most charming little towns in Finland. In the project, we were telling a story of a girl, who lives in Porvoo and places that are special to her, like the ancient church that you can see behind her in this image. The black origami birds symbolize dreams, hope, and the sense of freedom that her heart is filled with right now. In addition, real blackbirds flying around the church are a part of this major sight of Porvoo, they are always there, kind of like pigeons at the main square of Venice and people come to watch them all the time.
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.
