In Japanese tradition, if you fold 1,000 origami cranes your wish will come true.
This project, Uncaging One Thousand Cranes, is a response to refugee children being held in concentration camps. I’m building a 7’x7’x7′ frame that symbolizes a cage. And from the ceiling of that cage, I’m going to hang 1,000 origami cranes. The cage is of course the concentration camps that Trump has opened, and each crane I fold is a prayer for a child being held in one. When completed, I will open the cage and release the cranes, with the wish that the children will be released from the camps. With this project I’m hoping to raise $1,000 to donate to RAICES Texas, an organization that helps separated families, unaccompanied children, and other asylum seekers.
