After the success of the first volume, "Origami Maestro Level 2" invites you to take a new step in your folding journey. Conceived by Lee In-Kyung (White Paper) and Wonseon Son (Red Paper), Korean masters renowned for their artistic and philosophical approaches, this second volume is aimed at experienced folders ready to go beyond traditional techniques to explore new creative paths.
An Artistic and Personal Quest
In the preface of this volume, Wonseon Son recounts how, at over 40 years old, he chose to devote his life to origami. For him, folding paper is not merely a technical exercise but a deeply personal journey, an intimate dialogue with the material. He invites each reader to rediscover the purity of the gesture, to fold for pleasure, away from the constraints of perfection and external expectations.
"Origami is a solitary conversation between paper and oneself."
Through this book, the author hopes to offer everyone the chance to discover their own folding philosophy, to free their imagination, and to create authentic works that carry meaning and emotion.
A Look at the Evolution of Origami
A biologist by training, Wonseon Son sees origami as an ever-evolving art form, influenced by time and environment, much like nature itself. For him, the practice of folding must be a living process, where each model is enriched by its creator’s experiences and influences. "Evolve or perish" is the motto of this volume, which encourages stepping off the beaten path to explore new shapes and techniques.
