Cardboard isn’t just for moving boxes or kids’ crafts anymore — it’s the secret weapon of one artist who’s turning heads and blowing minds! Meet Monomi Ohno, the cardboard queen who’s transforming this everyday material into stunning works of art that you need to see to believe. With over 13,000 fans obsessed with her creations on Instagram, Ohno’s masterpieces are going viral for a reason!
From hyper-realistic snacks and sleek watches to jaw-dropping vehicles, robots, and iconic pop culture characters, Ohno’s cardboard sculptures are so detailed they’ll make you do a double-take. Think cardboard can’t look this good? Think again!
What makes her story even cooler? Ohno, an Osaka School of Arts undergrad, didn’t choose cardboard because it was trendy — she turned to it out of necessity. Tight on funds for school projects, she grabbed the cheapest material she could find (hello, Amazon boxes!) and unleashed her creativity. The result? Pure magic that’s inspiring artists and non-artists alike.
