Like most art, if you have a chance to see this kind of thing in person, go for it. It’s amazing.

This is fine for those who find origami too hard but I would encourage anybody to delve more into origami rather than kirigami – being a purist (starting from a square and using only folding to create pieces) is much more satisfying and is also much more amazing when you display it.
