“Origami Man” by Valentinos Vassiliou is a witty and thought-provoking deconstruction of masculinity, privacy, and absurd ritual. The figure, constructed entirely from angular, yellow origami-like folds, sits on a toilet—an icon of mundane human vulnerability—while smoking with casual detachment. The form is sharp and rigid, almost mechanical, contrasting humorously with the softness and banality of the act. The exaggerated geometry gives the impression of control and artificiality, as if the character is manufactured, folded into existence by cultural expectations or internal defenses.
