Using antique lithographs sourced from secondhand volumes, The Paper Crane constructs a monochrome landscape that feels both ancient and newly imagined. The artist meticulously cuts and layers disparate elements—from the jagged edges of a majestic mountain range to the fluid lines of coastal scenes—creating a squared composition that invites a closer look at its intricate seams and vintage textures.

The work moves beyond traditional scenery by integrating scientific imagery, such as crustacean anatomy and respiratory structures, into the weather-worn terrain. This juxtaposition suggests that the landscape itself is a living organism, where the movement of clouds and the surge of the tide are mirrored in the internal systems of the natural world, grounding abstract biological concepts in the physical reality of the environment.
