Mohamad Rizal Kapandi, Malaysia
Rizal has been a teacher for 4 years now, teaching aboriginal students in Malaysia. He loves fantasy, and pop-up books are a world for him where any fantasy can come true: it's like something magical is hidden inside the book for you to find and explore.

Once only able to dream about pop-ups when he was young, Rizal is now able to collect pop-up books (though he has to buy them second-hand over the internet) and he has been using his collection to teach himself how to make pop-ups of his own. Despite having no formal art training, he has been able to learn a lot!

We are looking forward to seeing more of Rizal's work in the future. We wish him much luck and success in the world of paper engineering!

A mosque during Aidilfitri. Aidilfitri is one of the biggest festivals celebrated by muslims in Malaysia. My year 1 students with the pop-ups they created.
 
The cover of a Rainbow pop-up we made in class... Pop-ups are a good teaching tool! My year 1 students were learning about colors.
 
My students again, with a Malaysian flag in the background! I'm proud to be Malaysian.

The cover of my sister's wedding pop-up wishbook.

 
One of the pop-ups inside the wedding book - friends and relatives jotted down wishes for the wedding inside. The pop-up is a sculpture of Mount Ledang, inspired by Puteri Gunung Ledang, a famous movie in Malaysia which has recieved many awards in local and international film festivals.
 
The poster for Puteri Gunung Ledang's musical theatre version. You can see the colors and swirling shapes that inspired the pop-up! This pop-up was made for the countdown to the 2010 Worldcup in June!
