Paper Sculpture. A three dimensional sculpture could be made from two dimensional paper. The artist uses paper cutting and layering technique to create depth. He uses papers with different colors to illustrate microorganisms or topography.
He can also play with the materials. He can either create the shape by using colored papers on a white background or white paper sculpture on a colored background as bricks for example.

This contrast serves the clarity and obviousness of the shape. The different depths created as same as the cut outs in the paper form the features of the piece of art.
This creativity is accompanied with a lot of accuracy and patience in order to come out the right way. Each layer of paper is a piece of the shape and each overlap should be done correctly. It is a highly sensitive operation but for sure worth it ! Creativity here was transferring a 2D thing into 3D

With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
