I am an origami folder for 35 years and designer for approximately 25 years. As a young explorer of the field, I originally began by folding pieces of fantasy creatures and sci fi objects. I then found that I could excel in tessellation and geometric, abstract patterns by involving calculations. After 2019, I decided to shift back to figuration that I had begun my exploration of origami with but on a more professional level. Figuration requires high level of rigor and anatomical knowledge, and it involves a different kind of thinking in terms of design than abstraction. 

I feel that I am a similar case to the American painter Philip Guston who was an abstract painter before he returned to figuration. I also like M. C. Escher for dealing with the concept or the illusion of infinitely continuing spaces, which is similar to tessellation. In origami, I respect Shuzo Fujimoto and Tomoko Fuse, as well as Robert Lang and Jon Montroll. 

I am adamant on the need for origami to stay in the realm of fine art rather than illustration or works with the illustrational qualities. Therefore, in my figurative origami, I focus on the internal qualities of the subject that I am trying to depict, whether that is expressed as the inner personality or the character. The kind of character that I want to encounter through origami is situated in mythical narratives and magical folklores, with basis on authentic cultural history and traditions. 

Through origami, I was the space explorer and the astrophysicist through my involvement in geometric star and galactic formations. Now I am the storyteller of the myths, legends, and the figures that the constellations of stars represent in the night sky. In these characters and stories, I find meaning in life and its struggle, as well as the human potential.
