1984 Cranes is an installation of 984 paper cranes folded from the book 1984 by George Orwell. The project is inspired by the Japanese tradition of senbazuru, folding a thousand paper cranes, and compares George Orwell's 1984 with Eleanor Coerr's Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes to discuss themes of war, failure, fragility, and security.
