Alexander Kurth started his passion for origami as a child folding paper airplanes in class. Now, he’s channeled that creative energy into creating cartoon-like creatures and replicas of favorite film and television characters, like Yoda from Star Wars. The social worker from Germany continues his passion for paper folding as a way of keeping himself happy and tying himself to his childhood, which he credits as being full of creativity and wonder. He says, “Origami for me is the possibility to create things out of my imagination as the chance to receive results which weren’t in my mind.”
