This piece tells the history of origami and the evolution of creativity beginning with the origin of paper itself. The base of the sculpture is a simple, paper square representing that first piece of paper developed in China 2,200 years ago. Above it is the iconic origami crane first folded by the Japanese hundreds of years ago. And soaring above the rest is one of the most complex and intricately designed modern origami cranes ever folded from a single, uncut square of paper by American artist, Robert J. Lang.
