A model design of Leyla Torres

I developed this design as I revisited an idea shared in our Joy of Origami design course (Module 5, section 4). In this case, the basic design of the box was taken a few steps forward and I experimented with locks of different sizes. In the video shared in this post, we will make the square version of this container.
Human-created eternal flames have several symbolic meanings:
- They often commemorate a person or event of significance.
- They serve as a symbol of a spiritual belief.
- They might be a reminder of the commitment to a common cause, such as peace or diplomacy.
- Also, the flame is widely accepted as a symbol of eternal life.
I like to think of this Eternal Flame container as symbolic of our inner peace which we can manifest in our communities as we share the magic of origami. Each one of us can act according to our personal vision and choose our own cause when making this Eternal Flame container in origami.
