    Senbazuru

    François Laxalt is inspired by the legend of Senbazuru, a giant origami composed of a thousand paper cranes associated on a thread. The story tells that the one who makes a Senbazuru can make a wish that will be granted by the gods. The French photographer has made his own Senbazuru via 36 photographs, in homage
    to the young Sadako Sasaki, famous in Japan for not being able to finish hers before dying.
