Outdoor sculptures often serve as a bridge between contemporary art and traditional craftsmanship, particularly in regions with rich paper engineering heritage. By incorporating techniques such as folding, layering, and intricate cutting—hallmarks of local paper arts—sculptors create dynamic, textured pieces that reflect cultural identity. For example, in Japan, some public installations mimic origami patterns, while in Mexico, papel picado-inspired designs add vibrancy to urban spaces. These sculptures not only celebrate historical methods but also innovate by using durable materials like metal or resin to withstand outdoor conditions. The fusion of paper engineering traditions with modern sculptural practices preserves cultural narratives while engaging communities in visually striking ways.
