The grammar of the cut

Four rules the scissors obey

1

Symmetry is not decoration, it is the method

Every bouquet folds on one axis — the left rooster is the right rooster, scissored at once through doubled paper.

2

Layers earn their shadow honestly

Each glued plane sits proud of the last by a paper's edge — the depth is real glue and overlap, never a painted gradient.

3

Six colors carry the whole song

Hot pink, rose-red, folk green, orange-red and chrome yellow — saturated flat planes, no muddy half-tones in between.

4

The white wall is part of the work

Cool whitewashed plaster, never cream — the bare ground between cut-outs is what makes the saturated paper sing.
