Money doesn’t grow on trees, but you can create origami out of it!

Origami is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding without using any sticky devices such as glue or tape. Artist Won Park decided to take this concept and make origami with the Unites States’ one dollar bill. He created multiple lifelike figures out of the one dollar through the process of bending and folding its surface. This concept speaks the age of consumerism and what the dollar actually means to us. We can buy many things with it but in reality, the dollar bill is simply a piece of paper.

Take a look at some of our favorites!
