Régis Chaperon presents us with the illusion of an Origami Hare. Origami is the ancient art of Japanese paper folding and comes from ‘ori’ meaning folding and ‘kami’ meaning paper. The shaping of the hare seems to have been created through the creasing and folding of a two-dimensional material rather than the carving of a solid block of Thala stone.
