Taken at the site of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan (2009) this photograph captures just a fragment of the thousands of strings of paper cranes that decorate the site’s memorial. The beauty of this photograph extends beyond the sea of geometric and architectural shapes of its individual origami pieces, and the overwhelming kaleidoscope of colour that they produce. Indeed, for me, this photograph is most beautiful for what it represents – the triumph of a desire for peace in the face of conflict. It exemplifies the core value of collaboration as the cranes, drawn from all corners of the world are strung alongside one-another, irrespective of their distinctive colours and places from which they originate.
