What does it mean to transform something? To transform something means that you are changing its structure or composition. We transform many things in our daily lives, and we don't devote much attention to them. Whether we are transforming physical objects, our lives or the lives of the people around us, the art of changing/modifying something is a skill.
Allow me to give you a brief background on the art of Origami. What is Origami? Origami is "the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures." The origin of this art dates back to China in 105 A.D. It was brought to Japan by the monks about a thousand years ago.
I chose to transform a piece of paper into a box because it brings back happy memories from my childhood. I remember having cable and watching ON DEMAND with my cousins. Back then, if you ever wanted to master the art of Origami, ON DEMAND was the place to go. It had all types of paper folding techniques, from making gift boxes to making paper cranes. My cousins and I loved making paper boxes. And the extraordinary thing about making them is if you fold your paper correctly and master every crevice, your box will hold stuff.
I always deemed this as being very cool, so I decided to share it with you all. Enjoy!!!
