Origami

Origami is a traditional Japanese art of paper folding. The most well known origami is the paper crane. The crane was the first origami that I was taught and it was the origin of my passion within origami, later I moved onto harder designs.



This is my origami crane within photography which was part of a narrative series where this particular crane goes on a journey to find it's friends. I did quite a number of origami cranes and flowers within this project and I wanted to create a world of origami.



I wanted to add different sorts of origami designs within this world. This world is flat because I like this idea how people use to think the world is flat and how if you were to walk too far to the horizon you would fall off. The designs I included within this world are origami roses, cubes and of course, the cranes. I also added a special origami which is most well known as a Chocobo from the Final Fantasy series, based on the Yelllow Bird design by Satoshi Kamiya.
