What the Frame Demands

Four Disciplines of the Moon Kite

Symmetry is not negotiable

Every vine cut for the left wing is mirrored on the right, leaf for leaf, before the paste ever dries.

Layer the paper, never flatten it

Up to nine paste-on overlays build the floral relief; a single flat sheet would read as printed, not made.

The sunburst radiates from one heart

Foliage fans outward from a single centred bloom, so the eye always returns to the kite's pulse.

Green piping holds the whole field

Emerald borders edge every panel, binding the purple ground the way the kite's frame binds its skin.
