World With Paper

 This piece is based on the art of origami and Ukiyo-e prints. The illustration is intended as a promotional poster or website advertisement inspired by the Japanese paper company, Murayama Senko. In every child’s life, there is a phase where they are invested in the art of paper folding. I combined this tradition with surrealism to create a memorable world that has the balance between paper and real objects.
