Paper sculpture art is always exquisite but fragile. The exquisite hollow carvings seem to be blown apart with a breath, but because of this, these "broken and connected" paper pieces are even more amazing. Manila-based artist Patrick Cabral uses paper sculpture art in public welfare activities, sculpting wild animals that are facing an existential crisis in the Philippines, hoping to remind the world of their attention.
Cabral layers various details on paper that is so thin that it is almost light-transmitting, simulating the hair or texture of animals. These animals include snow leopards, tigers, lynxes, bears, etc., and their expressions. It looks both innocent and painful, as it faces an existential crisis.
Cabral attaches a brief description under each animal, as well as their current living conditions, such as their habitat, threats they face, etc., and then puts them on the Internet for sale for the World Wildlife Fund (World Wildlife Fund). Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to raise funds.
