I’m blown away by Los Angeles-based artist Elsa Mora’s paper sculptures because of the intricacies and detail she puts into her work.
Each piece has been painstakingly cut out with a utility knife, which gives Mora's work a busy and complex, yet beautiful appearance. What's particularly striking is that there's often an image within an image, which seems to indicate that there's a story being told. Luckily, these aren't just for your viewing pleasure: Mora's paper craft is available for sale on Etsy.
