Studio Visit 2

On Friday I had a photo major come and talk with me about my work that I am doing right now. He pointed out that the folded flowers could be taken as some sort of statement on Japan or the Asian culture in general because of their origins in origami. This could be a problem but I wanted to keep the orderly aspect of paper folding as a contradiction to the chaos the storms cause. In the end I decided to mix making paper flowers by cut outs and folded flowers. He and I felt that some of the image should be recognizable and was needed if I wanted people to get the connection between the storm and the organized flower.
