Have you ever seen a sculpture that can be expanded, contracted and retracted? Well, Li Hingbo – a Chinese artist – has been creating some mind-and-body-bending sculptures by using a honeycomb-like formation of paper.

Taking grotesque effect to extreme levels, the distorted pieces are bizarre and beautiful, reports the Indian Express.

Wondering how he created them? The sculptures are made through a painstaking process wherein layers of glue and sheets of paper have to be stacked and it takes months to piece one together.

Each paper is treated individually and is designed in a way that it appears like it is one fascinating masterpiece.
