Visual Description of Artwork

12,000 of individually folded origami squares in varying sizes make up a portrait of Ruth Asawa at age 26. Each square is made using two pieces of origami paper. The folded squares range in size from ¼ inch - ½ inch and come in a combination of 20 shades of origami paper. The portrait is a close-up of her head and shoulders. She is looking straight at you, the viewer. Her shoulder length hair and thick bangs are black. She’s wearing bright red lipstick and a green shirt. The background is a field of light gray.
