Origami Toy Rocket by Himanshu Agrawal

Design: September 2021
Paper: 8.5" square sheet of copy paper.
Folded size: 4.5" x 3" x 3"

I designed this for a session with a space theme. Super simple design, an amalgamation of 2 of my previous designs - Flower (2016) and Fairy light (2018).

I haven't posted in a while, so, here's a bit of a . Recently, I travelled to another city for the first time in a year and a half. Interacted with dynamic young designers and got to share some Origami with them. I'm always curious to know how young people stumble upon Origami. No surprise that YouTube and Instagram are huge influences. However the one thing that bothers me is how easily kids deify anything/ anyone with a large social media presence. Some were heaping superlatives on people who post Origami without attribution. Students are not expected to research everything they consume on social media, however, the "artists" with a respectable presence should post with responsibility. It takes a lifetime to learn the art and understand the concepts well enough to be able to design. For the "Gilderoy Lockhartian" artists (silly Harry Potter reference) of social media, with more influence than integrity, not so much.

So, this is the world we live in today. Easy access to success. As if the mask of Internet anonymity wasn't enough, we cake it with social media filters to supplant credibility with credulity.

The next post will be lighter. That's a promise. 😊
