Description

This is a spherical, geometric origami model composed of many folded paper units, illuminated from within, creating a warm, intricate glow. Each unit features a repeating, star-like or floral (hydrangea) pattern. It is a modular origami piece, assembled from multiple identical units, each folded to create the distinctive pattern, then interlocked to form the icosahedral shape.
