Even a piece of paper wants to be something!
"A common, ordinary brick wants to be something more than it is." It was Louis I. Kahn (1903-1974) who first posed a question in the early 1970s that has since attained legendary status within architectural circles: "What do you want, brick?" The answer, according to Kahn, is that brick wants to be an arch and not merely an infill or cladding material with no structural role.
I say the same holds true for a piece of paper. I am sure some paper dreams of being a great novel, a piece of monumnmetal legislation, or even art. Peter Callesen lets free all a piece of paper wants to be!

I like this artist's work. I was just checking out his papercuts a few days ago.
