Marine Origami
2023
Artist Joseph Hwang has harbored a deep fascination with marine biodiversity since he was a child. Alongside this passion was an interest in folding origami that transitioned from folding traditional models into a singular focus on creating his own designs. Inevitably, these two passions collided in his first series of figurative sea life designs, which comprise this book.
From innovative locking techniques to refined shaping methods, Marine Origami presents, through photography, essays, and step-by-step diagrams, twenty-six original models inspired by the diversity of coastal marine life. Ranging from minimalistic squid to lifelike dungeness crab, this carefully selected collection of models elevates the standard of figurative origami design. List of Models
The Art of Modular Origami
2021
In a beautifully designed book complete with full colored photographs, origami artist Joseph Hwang presents thirty original modular designs for the intermediate to high level folder. Each model is constructed from thirty squares each and require no cuts or glue. Step-by-step diagrams teach the folder how to fold and assemble the first three units of each unique model.

Natural Origami: Second Edition
2024
Simple in appearance, but surprisingly technical in design, 22.5 degree based designs in origami display the beauty found in the most basic geometric forms. Origami expert Joseph Hwang explores the art of this unique style of origami design in 19 animal-based models loosely based on the Chinese zodiac. The pig, horse, dog, orangutan, and eastern dragon—these are just some of many exceptional models in this book.
Natural Origami: Second Edition includes updated diagrams, photos, and 4 new designs to challenge the folder: pegasus, falcon, tiger, and eastern dragon.
The diagrams in the book are presented in a non-traditional, condensed crease pattern format in which multiple steps are grouped together. The book is intended for highly experienced folders who are familiar with crease patterns.
