This series of origami cranes embodies the fusion of tradition and contemporary abstraction. Origami, a practice rooted in discipline, precision, and symbolism, meets the expressive spontaneity of abstract mark-making. Each crane, meticulously folded from painted card, transforms a two-dimensional surface into a sculptural form—bridging the space between painting and object.

The bold colors, erratic lines, and layered textures disrupt the typical delicacy of origami, challenging perceptions of fragility and control. These cranes are not passive symbols of peace; they are dynamic, energetic, and unapologetically present. The juxtaposition of structure and chaos within each fold mirrors the complexities of existence—where beauty emerges from unpredictability, and harmony coexists with disorder.

By repurposing hand-painted abstractions into origami, this work questions the boundaries between fine art and craft, impermanence and permanence, spontaneity and intention. The cranes become more than folded paper; they are vessels of transformation, inviting viewers to reconsider the essence of form, meaning, and movement.
