An eight-foot-tall pink paper elephant made a brief appearance at the American Museum of Natural History for a photo opportunity around the annual Origami Holiday Tree. The giant pink paper pachyderm, created through the paper-folding wizardry of celebrated Origami artist Sok Song, was photographed for an upcoming book highlighting Song’s work. Song’s creations — large and small — have graced fashion runways, advertising spreads, and the Origami Holiday Tree at the Museum.
