I haven't decided whether I consider myself a traditionalist or modernist when it comes to origami. I experimented with some modular pieces (combining several identical pieces to create one model) and enjoyed the repetitiveness the creation; however, I still find myself fascinated with the simplicity of basic shapes, animals and other traditional origami pieces. To me, the minimalism of customary origami seems to relay a deeper truth and meaning, almost as if the pieces cohesion is much more apparent through its one-dimensional folds (if that makes any sense)- a little origami philosophy for the day.
I am going to be attempting a complex unicorn and elephant this week and I have a feeling I will gain more satisfaction from their construction, but we will see.
PS: Im super excited to get back into school btw <-- Just a little pointless information. :-)
