She held scraps of colored paper in her hand, and began to build a shape that she had drawn in her imagination. She stopped working for a moment, and remembered that summer day two years ago, when she was flipping through the television channels, when she was attracted by a program that talked about the art of paper folding, “3D origami,” of Japanese origin, and her curiosity drove her. To search for it on the Internet.
One month of learning through videos available on the Internet, and imitating some shapes, made the computer systems engineering student at Palestine Technical University - Kadoorie, Manar Yahya (22 years old) from the town of Kafrarai, Jenin District, able to invent and build any shape she wanted from scraps of paper.
A paper swan was Manar’s first attempt at the art of paper folding. It took nearly two days of cutting, folding, and assembly. Her paper swan was welcomed by those around her, and they were also surprised that it was made of paper only.
Manar’s insistence and the great support of those around her pushed her to continue the art of paper folding and develop her talent. Manar says: “This art is characterized by ease and style. I was able to learn on my own by looking at other people’s experiences. All we need is a rectangular piece of paper. "A4" Let's fold it, forming the basic structural unit, and then put together a group of these pieces, to build the shape we want.
Manar added, “I did not face any difficulty in balancing the time I needed to build shapes with precision and mastery, and continuing my studies continuously as a university student in the College of Engineering and Technology.” Manar explained that she deliberately worked to divide her time well between her studies and her hobby, to resort to scraps. Paper in her free time, and priority should be given to studying it during the exam period.
Regarding the challenges she faced in mastering the output of this type of art, Manar explained that she faced difficulty in keeping the shapes stable after installation, and protecting them from damage, so she was able to solve the problem by coating the shapes with glue or white glue, and spraying them with a transparent fixative to increase their durability and water resistance and add shine. On it, it is easy to clean, and it looks more beautiful in the eyes of onlookers.
Manar’s deep belief in her talent, and the beauty of the shapes that she created with all passion and innovation, encouraged her to participate in the “Math Nerds at Your Service” exhibition, the sixth Qabas Cultural Exhibition, and the Mathematics in Physics and Computer Sciences Exhibition, which were held at Kadoorie University, so that her talent became a source of earning money through... Selling some pieces and marketing them through her page on the social networking site “Facebook”.
It is noteworthy that the art of origami spread in Palestine in mid-2013, through the “Origami Palestine” team, which was founded by the young man Qusay Al-Saifi, and worked to introduce the Palestinian community to the history of origami, and spread it through a group of programs and workshops, held with Palestinian educational and cultural institutions, and establishing... Exhibitions, participation in cultural celebrations and bazaars specializing in the field of crafts and arts.
