These Origami Wall sculptures are on display at the International District/Chinatown light rail station in Seattle, Washington. The nine 14 x 14-foot painted aluminum sculptures show the steps of the origami folding process. You start at either end and in the center you’ll find two completed pieces; one of a man and one of a woman. These pieces were created by Sonya Ishii in 1990.
There are several wooden benches for you to sit on while waiting for the next train. Trains run every four to fifteen minutes, depending on the time of day.
Here’s a closer look at the Origami Wall sculptures.

So unique!
Yeah, Sandy, they were simple yet complex at the same time.
This origami wall art is definitely something
Yes, Hammad, they were unique and beautiful!
Intriguing and such a unique concept. Have they remained intact and in good condition all these years?
Yes, they were unique. I'm not sure about the condition. I'll check it out when I'm there again.

Thanks! 🙂
That is pretty neat. It's in my own town but I've never been there.
Yes, it is! I didn’t realize the patterns change as they move to the center until I did some research.
