Oritsunagumono by Takayuki Hori

This collection by student artist Takayuki takes the ancient tradition of origami and wrenches it into the realm of contemporary art, with clever commentary on the issue of endangered species.

Each piece, when flat, is a strange collection of free floating bones, yet when folded according to the correct origami shape, becomes a haunting skeleton of the animal it forms.

This is a brilliant way of updating a traditional art form and giving it an edgy and poignant context.
