This 1000 paper crane mobile is inspired by the symbolic meaning of the paper crane—representing peace, hope, and healing. Each crane, carefully folded by hand, carries a personal wish or moment of reflection. The process became a meditative act, allowing me to channel emotions like anxiety and uncertainty into something meaningful. The cranes vary in color and pattern, with subtle shifts in tone and texture, reflecting the complexity and uniqueness of human emotions. The 64 strings were thoughtfully curated to maintain harmony while celebrating the beauty in both repetition and variation. At 7 feet tall, this mobile serves as a symbol of resilience and transformation, reminding us of the power of art to heal and the strength found in patience.

Folded paper into cranes, strung them on yarn strings, glue to secure each bird, wood for the frame, spray painted the wood frame, cable and carabiner to hang.
