Origami Ginkgo leaves art by JeeYoung Lee

 

Ginkgo leaf sea "Maiden Voyage"

Origami objects by South Korean artist JeeYoung Lee.

The objects draw on her childhood observing the autumn Ginkgo leaves in the streets of Korea. Also known as “living fossils” ginkgo leaves date back over 270 million years and was a way for Lee to convey the passage of time: "I compare life to a voyage".
