Kirigami

 

Kirigami is a variation of origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. However, in kirigami, paper is not only folded but also cut to create intricate and often symmetrical designs. The term "kirigami" comes from the Japanese words "kiru" (to cut) and "kami" (paper). This technique allows artists to produce three-dimensional sculptures from a single sheet of paper by strategically cutting and folding it. Kirigami designs can range from simple patterns to highly complex and detailed creations, and they are used in various applications, including greeting cards, pop-up books, and decorative art
