These life-sized paper elephants created by Origami Artist Sipho Mabona are from a single piece of paper. This work titled 'White Elephant' is made form a piece of paper specially produced and sized at 2,500 square feet. The white elephant will be on display at the Art Museum in Beromünster, Switzerland for an exclusive showcase.
The attempt to fold a life-sized elephant from a single piece of paper is one of the most extraordinary works ever made. Sipho Mabona has previously made other animals with folded pieces of paper but has now gone bigger with shocking elements. Life-sized paper elephants are a must see as an interesting art installation of folded paper material.
