Unbelievably cool origami art as a statement on the fragility of ecosystems

Incredibly impressive stuff http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/10/view/14059/takayuki-hori-oritsunagumono.html :

'oritsunagumono' (translated as 'things folded and connected') is a collection of origami works by artist takayuki hori,
created to highlight the environmental threat of pollution to a number of species native to japan's coastal waterways.

each translucent sheet is first printed with either the images of fragments of an animal's skeleton, or,
on some pages, human-made discarded objects that are often ingested by the animals in the wild.
using the ancient tradition of folded paper, hori assembles the pages into a three-dimensional model.
once the paper is folded, the printed components are united as a whole, telling the visual story
of the animal's plight to survive in an increasingly polluted and hazardous ecosystem.

...

while the animal skeletons appear as x-ray images, the garbage they ingest is frequently highlighted in colour
