Japanese artist Tomoko Sioyasu’s work is based on nature and echoes organic shapes and rhythms, mimicking water, wind and cells. Using the traditional art of paper-cutting, the sculptures are transformed using utility knives and soldering irons, forming delicate tapestries that defy imagination.

His latest installation, Vortex, is on display at Japan Society in New York, until June 12. 50 per cent of all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to relief efforts in Japan.
