This piece features a cluster of hand-folded origami turkeys in a quiet backyard setting, surrounded by falling yellow and orange maple leaves. The sharp, clean folds of the paper figures contrast with the gentle motion of the cascading foliage. Using a warm autumn palette, the display captures a simple, peaceful moment of seasonal transition.

Hokusai’s iconic print -- The Great Wave off Kanagawa, portrays the terrifying power of nature, but this origami creation shifts the focus to joy and coexistence. Nestled within the towering, white-tipped waves are paperfolded dolphins and whales. These whimsical additions completely rewrite the narrative, shifting the scene from a dangerous sea crossing into a vibrant marine haven.
