For me, origami is much more than a traditional craft; it is an artistic way of interacting with a material until you truly understand it. Every time I fold a sheet of paper, I feel like I’m entering into a dialogue with it: I perceive its resistance, its texture, and the direction it allows me to follow. It is not simply a matter of transforming a flat surface into a three-dimensional figure, but of working in harmony with the paper, understanding its limits and its potential. In every fold I find an opportunity to discover something new, to achieve a precision that unites mathematics with aesthetics, reason with sensitivity.
I also see origami as an exploration of geometric patterns and shapes that, when combined, give rise to complex and living structures. I’m fascinated by how folded paper can interact with light and space, casting shadows and reflections that constantly change its appearance. What seems simple at first glance hides a great depth: its complexity is only revealed when one truly understands the technique. For me, each piece of origami is an encounter between thought, intuition and matter; A delicate balance in which the final form is not imposed, but is discovered together with the material itself.
