Paragraph / Reflection:
The sculpture is a response to the works of Layla May Arthur and Ayumi Shibata. Both artists inspired me to explore how layered paper can create depth, light, and shadow to suggest space and structure. While building my little village, I focused on creating intricate mountains, bridge, and houses to make the scene feel alive, even though it’s entirely made from paper. I experimented with cutting and layering techniques to suggest perspective and texture. The history of paper cutting and its use in storytelling influenced my decisions, encouraging me to create something that feels delicate, detailed, and full of quiet life. This project helped me better understand how simple materials can convey both structure and emotion.
