What you see in the picture is my room's desk, a tiny region of the cosmos where science and art collide; some days you can see my latest drawing or origami being taken to this world, other days you may be able to see some Firmicutes being organized in a state of the art phylogenetic tree, but recently the most persistent object in my desk is a completely folded (but unassembled) Issei Yoshino's "skeleton of tyrannosaurus rex". Those twenty two clip-joined folded paper squares have been staring at me for a month or two, the final step of this brilliant origami is just impossible, not because it is difficult, but because when I try to join them I feel like I am making a handcraft for my mother's birthday.
I have always believed that the most amazing thing about origami is the fact that you can create anything from a peace of paper, more specifically, an uncut square. The intellectual, artistic and technical challenge of transforming this simple object into whatever the folder wants is the funniest puzzle I have met in my life; the limitations are your imagination and the paper's qualities. If you want to create a model with different sections, you do not need many peaces of paper to make each one of them, all you need is to look at Brian Chan's "Kraken Attack".
very good pic, and interesting speech, keep working in your origami work, it´s amazaing...<{:o)&
