The Art of Folding

Won Park is a master of Oragami, specializing in the folding of one dollar bills into life-like forms. I recomend checking out his work on the web, which reminds me of the stories that Nabokav creates. He is, in a sense, a master folder. In reading his creations, we are brought into the many layered texture of the text, an intricate pattern in which every layer, every fold, adds to the beauty and coherence of the whole. In trying to figure out what is going on, or what fold leads where, we as the readers find ourselves in a crystal palace with an infinite amount of rooms. We stumble around utterly lost, only to find ourselves where we started. Once we step back, however, and walk to the crest of a distant hill, we can see the palace for its stunning aesthetic value. We see the sun leap from many facets of carved crystal in an intricate, divine pattern blending so naturally into the surrounding land. That a human can create something like this speaks volumes to the great depths of our souls.
