These bright and beautiful creatures seem to reveal the full complexity of life - and yet each is made from a piece of paper.
The intricate origami models were folded into shape by Brian Chan, a 31-year-old craft instructor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Mr Chan began making his breathtaking sculptures when he was just ten years old and taught himself the Japanese art-form using books as a guide.
He has now fashioned more than 100 unique artworks, from people to jungle cats. Most are made from one piece of paper, with extra sheets occasionally used for contrasting parts of the figure, such as a shell or clothing.
Mr Chan believes that origami allows artists to express themselves using techniques that are completely their own.
