Street Art Meets Origami In Paris

Check out these lovely rainbow origami street art creations by Mademoiselle Maurice. After spending one year in Japan, she was inspired to bring these colorful geometric figures to the streets of Paris.

Watch the video below to find out how she spices up a grey wall with hundreds of origami shapes (which certainly takes a lot of patience and time). Graffiti may be quicker, but Mademoiselle’s take with mostly recycled paper is a little eco-friendlier.

In April she created her first origami artwork on the streets using only white and pink. Click here for a photo series that showcases her latest creations!
