R茅gis Chaperon presents us with the illusion of an Origami Hare. Origami is the ancient art of Japanese paper folding and comes from 鈥榦ri鈥� meaning folding and 鈥榢ami鈥� meaning paper. The shaping of the hare seems to have been created through the creasing and folding of a two-dimensional material rather than the carving of a solid block of Thala stone.
