Hoang Tien Quyet 是一位从孩童时代就开始折纸创作的艺术家，他发现一张平面纸有很丰富的想象空间，可以折成任何三维物体，步入老年以后加入了越南折纸论坛，在那里结识了很多志同道合的朋友，并尝试使用名为“湿折”技术来提高自己的折纸技术。

湿法折纸是由世界折纸大师吉泽章所创的一种纸艺技术，概括的来讲，就是将比较厚的纸弄湿，这样就可以用其来创造出更多的折叠样式和更生动的模型。湿法折纸的技术用来制作动物的模型是再合适不过的了。

Hoang Tien Quyet has been folding paper ever since he was a kid. Amazed at how a flat sheet of paper could transform into a three dimensional object, he kept up the practice as he got older and eventually joined a Vietnam Origami Group forum. It was there that he met many friends who shared the same passion, and they inspired him to try a lesser-known technique called wet folding. Quyet now uses it to create charming animal figures like roosters, lions, foxes, and more.

Wet folding was pioneered by the late origami master Akira Yoshizawa. As the name suggests, water is involved, and it’s used to soften the paper during the folding process. The results are flowing, curved creases with rounded forms. But despite the malleable appearance, the creations are often rigid and shell-like.

The unconventional technique is a perfect fit for Quyet, as it produces elegant, fluid creatures that have an incredible presence. “I like working with new and fresh ideas, and always try to breathe life and my personality into my models,” he writes. “I hope people can also feel that from my work.”
