Origamidada |

| Conceptual
origami is origami that attempts to communicate or
illustrate ideas and emotions. It may be
straightforwardly serious, satirical or humorous in
nature. Unlike most other categories of origami
conceptual origami may aim to offend rather than to
please. Origamidada
is a subset of conceptual origami which uses the
conventions of origami design, diagramming, or culture,
to make humorous or satirical comments about life, the
universe and origami.

about these types of origami can be found here.
