【#Director Insights】 #51 Use Paper Carving to Collect Your Passion and Memories
Have you ever realized ~ our emotions toward a car often go beyond its “function”?
It’s not just a mode of transportation, nor simply a combination of metal parts. For some people, a car might be a teenage dream, a reward after hard work, or a memento of an important phase in life. Even the roads it has traveled with you, who sat in the passenger seat, where the wind came from — all hold special meaning.
Many people think passion is only for the young, but that’s not true. Passion is a kind of perseverance — it’s the way you choose to take life seriously.
I often hear customers tell me:
“This is the first car of my life.”
“My car accompanied me across half of Malaysia.”
“This car was bought with the first big amount of money I ever earned — it took me two years of modification to turn it into the style I love.”
“This is the car I used to date my wife, and later to bring our kids on vacations. I’ve changed to a new car now, but I still can’t bear to sell this one.”
These stories may sound ordinary, but they are real and touching moments of life. Every car is actually helping us record time — it’s just that we’re too used to it and sometimes forget to pause and look back. That’s why I want to say: A warm wall art is not just decoration — it can be a container that holds all your stories.
In our paper carving creations, we don’t simply “replicate the appearance of a car,” We try to embed the connection between you and it — deeply within the piece.
It could be a custom set of rims you chose, a license plate number you insist on keeping, or even your favorite mountain road to drive. We spend a lot of time studying the details of each car model, even chatting with the owner to understand the story behind the car — All just to make this piece of work truly your one and only.
We’ve always believed that a good wall art isn’t just visually beautiful — It should also carry that irreplaceable period of time in your heart.
At Kamicarv, we use paper carving to express this emotion. It’s not template-based production, and it’s not a flat laser engraving on a dual-color board. It’s paper carving art — layer by layer, hand-cut, embossed, shaped, and assembled.
We insist on using imported high-quality certified acid-free paper to create our paper carving artworks. We don’t simply “copy” a car — we hide your story within the details:
• Every curve is modeled based on real cars, not using templates;
• Every layer of paper is hand-cut, embossed, shaped, and fitted together;
• Even the way light and shadow pass through the layers is deliberately preserved — All just so that when you stand in front of the artwork, you can feel, “This really is my car.”
We don’t do surface engraving, and we don’t just engrave the design onto dual-color boards or wood and call it a day. That kind of flat, depthless work lacks warmth and value.
You can see from every one of our photos: The details are three-dimensional, the lines carry emotion, and every layer of paper holds our persistence.
Art that is truly worth collecting is not only beautiful — It’s because it carries the road you’ve traveled and the marks of your efforts.
That’s why we insist on making this kind of paper carving ~
A form of art that has depth, story, and texture.
A commemorative piece that you can hang at home and that gains value with time. Something you can proudly tell others, “This is a part of my life.”
May the passion you once had never be forgotten; May those glorious moments that belong to you always have a place to be cherished.
Because you deserve it.
