Won Park – The Master of Origami Paper Folding
Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper, and using only one piece of paper.
Won Park is the master of Origami. He is also called the “money folder”, a practitioner of origami whose canvas is the United States One Dollar Bill. Bending, twisting, and folding, Won Park creates life-like shapes inspired by objects living and not– both in stunning detail.

The amount of detail in his work is amazing, plus the fact that he only uses one dollar bills. He’s a genius!

Absolutely amazing how someone could do so many things with a simple dollar bill. And he not only incorporates shapes into his designs but he also uses the actual parts of the bill as eyes, faces, etc. Wow!
