Origami are a traditional Japanese art craft of making shapes with folded papers. Moreover in Japan, the crane is a mystical creature that is believed to live for a thousand years. Traditionally, it is believed that if one folds 1000 origami, one’s wish would come true.
Nowadays origami cranes have become a symbol of hope and healing during challenging times, and are used to decorate remembrance places.
The Origami have been cut from canvas, primed and sealed, and spray painted in colors and designs inspired by Japanese paper prints. They have been glued in a collage effect to create a 3 dimensional effect on the painting.
