Paper Art Makes a Statement

Kiss those paper mache and origami days goodbye because there are plenty of other ways to turn paper into art. Some may call it green or say it’s a great way to recycle. Whatever you want to say about it, these pieces of art make bold statements, even with such a delicate material.

Paper Wars is an exhibit, which displays designs that are the exact opposite of Mora’s works. These paper sculptures are anything but delicate looking — even threatening maybe — if you didn’t know they could be torn to shreds in about two seconds.
