Louise Cassidy has been creating pop culture inspired origami for over six years. Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures and it has existed since the 17th century in Japan.

Origami became a popular form of art in a global sense in the early 1900's and Cassidy's corner of the creative creations is certainly endearing and unique. Cassidy sees potential everywhere in pop culture, she said:

"Whenever I see a popular character in a film or TV show, instead of concentrating on the plotline, my mind wanders into how I could recreate it with paper folding."
