About the artist:
Giang Dinh was born in 1966 in Hue, Vietnam, and studied architecture both in his home country and later in the United States. He now lives in Virginia, where he works for an architectural firm. Since discovering origami in 1998, he has become widely recognised for his designs, which are marked by a quiet elegance and a sense of Zen-inspired serenity.
Instead of relying on sharp, defined creases—which he likens to lines drawn in ink—he prefers the softness of curved folds, more like pencil sketches, lending his pieces a gentle, meditative quality. Often using plain white paper, he invites viewers to focus on the interplay of form and shadow. Many of his sculptures are created using the wetfolding technique and evoke a semi-abstract, almost sculptural presence.
