Story & Message:
There are those emotions that keep returning, even when they aren’t welcome. We may want to send them away, but they insist on staying. If we do manage to shake them off, they just return to us the same way. But what if we were to treat them like old friends - offer them a seat and a cup of tea? They must be weary from all the years they have been chasing us. Maybe - just maybe - it will give us a chance to get to know them, and accept them as shattering, nevertheless beautiful parts of our life.
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.
