Lucas Simoes work is a combination of both geometric and organic shapes that are overlaid to create curious patterns.  In this series he took friends of his and photographed them tell him a secret. The purpose of that was to capture each persons expressions as they spilled the secret. At the end of the photo session he chose 10 different pictures, then cut and layered them between acrylic sheets to get what you see below.

The two stop motion videos below were shot by animation studio Stoptrick and they feature the origami works of Sipho Mabona. In these video, I couldn't help but think that the design from start to finish looked like precision style dancing. The way that the paper moved and folded to either; start from the beginning of the design to going backwards. Check out more of Sipho work as well as Stoptrick.

Artist Claire Brewster has created these paper silhouettes of plants, birds and fish from old maps. Her work is about retrieving the discarded and bringing life to the obsolete. She uses old and out of date maps and atlases as her fabric of choice. The cut-outs are either pinned directly to the wall as a large scale installation or they are captured in a box frame. The shadows created from the light gives these installments a 3D quality and creates almost a feel of movement. These cut-outs are very creative and give a different feel on how someone else's trash can becomes someone's art. Check out more of her work on her blog.
