Face of Venus V3 represents a harmonious blend of artistry, innovation, and sustainability. Drawing inspiration from traditional origami techniques and the elegance of classical sculpture, this model reimagines the iconic beauty of Venus through the medium of recycled plastic. Unlike typical face mask origami, which often results in wrinkle-like fold lines, this design emphasizes smoothness and refinement, striving to capture Venus’s timeless grace.
My creative process was inspired by a line origami Facebook post shared by Nicolas Terry, which led to the incorporation of origami blocks to define shadow and shading lines. These negative-space lines were carefully mix with normal foldings and assembled to evoke a sense of depth and structure. Due to the unique challenges posed by the material, I employed an innovative approach: initially using staples and paper clips to secure curved folds, followed by surgical-like sewing techniques to connect the blocks seamlessly. This approach ensured structural integrity and allowed the softer recycled plastic to hold its shape, achieving a cohesive and elegant final piece.
Beyond its technical complexity, Face of Venus V3 tells a story of transformation and reverence. It is a tribute to Venus's enduring beauty, reimagined in a modern, sustainable context. The choice of recycled plastic underscores the fusion of art and environmental consciousness, demonstrating how origami can elevate discarded materials into works of profound artistic expression.
This model exemplifies the essence of the Artistic Award, conveying a message of resilience, beauty, and the innovative spirit of origami.
