Lefa Mofokeng is an origami artist based in Clarens, Free State, whose work is inspired by the dramatic mountain landscape surrounding his hometown. Working from a single square of paper, he creates intricate folded forms that explore simplicity, patience and transformation.
For Lefa, origami is as much about the process as the finished artwork. He finds peace in the slow, precise act of folding and draws parallels between the layers and angles of paper and the rock faces and natural formations of Clarens. His work invites people to slow down, look more closely, and discover how something seemingly simple can transform into something unexpected and beautiful.
