I might be wrong but I belief origami is a restraining expressive medium unlike traditional visual mediums like painting or carving for example. What I mean with that is that when inventing through origami, as a figurative medium, its harder to make something discernible. That has taken me to sometimes ask people what do they see, when I show them my work, in order to know if I satisfied my intention or not. Know what I mean? Now I'm not saying that it's impossible to make something easily discernible through origami, just that it's harder, compared to painting and carving among others. That's why I used the word "restraining" instead of "limited" for example.
Am I right to make that particular distinction between origami and other visual mediums or am I looking at it all the wrong way? Do you know about any other visual mediums that are also restraining in the way I described?
I'd love to learn more about all this from your answers
