Surrounded by a menagerie of paper animals, 15-year-old Kade Chan Pak-hei's nimble fingers demonstrate the steps required to make a paper frog.
The Form Three student has been a member of the Hong Kong Origami Society for three years, and he says origami has helped him learn to concentrate and be patient.
'Playing video games is bad for the eyes and going out is expensive, so I make paper artworks in my free time,' says Kade, who has created a wide variety of paper animals, ranging from beetles to a T-Rex.
Kade's enthusiasm for the pastime makes him somewhat unique in this age of digital gadgetry and online gaming.
Kwan Chak-lau, president of Hong Kong Origami Society, says it's difficult to promote the ancient art among young people.
Mr Kwan says the popularity of the art is waning in the country of its origin - China - but in Japan, where origami reached its apogee as an art form, competitions still attract masters from all over the world.
