Flottille: Micro-Origamis That Unfold in Water

In a charming little video called Flottille, French artist Etienne Cliquet creates origami that is a few centimetres long, and then places them onto the surface of water.

Likely due to capillary action, the micro-origami as he calls it, slowly expands and opens up to reveal the shapes hidden underneath the main piece. It’s a wonderful, meditative piece – have a look at Flottille below.
