Biography
In this series, Dandy Diwangkara explores the deep, but often neglected, link between humans and animals, through abstract animal forms made of paper. We often perceive ourselves as superior to the animal world, forgetting that animals existed long before us and that they will continue to exist after us. We depend on them much more than we want to admit and, yet, their importance is too often underestimated. Paper becomes the material through which Dandy expresses this paradox. Seemingly fragile, it possesses an unexpected strength.
Like the animals he represents, its apparent fragility conceals a deep resilience and power.
