Artist Statement
This sculpture is an artistic reflection of a mental picture of peaceful
harmonious life created with origami art. With vivid colors, a 3D rendition
and serene atmosphere, this piece intends to show the desire for harmony,
creativity and peace. The brain's ability to keep the whole world inside itself,
including past, present and future, is inspiring. The brain is an amazing,
sophisticated instrument to realize the world we live in, interact with it,
create ideas and search for our place in the universe.
