Paper Cranes on School Stairs in Harbin

by Esteban Pate

Pale dawn light slips across the polished concrete floor of a computer lab in Harbin, illuminating a wooden staircase wrapped in hundreds of white paper cranes. The origami figures cling tightly to the handrail and steps, their crisp folds catching the soft morning glow. Large windows cast long, quiet shadows along the pale blue walls, while rows of empty computer monitors stand motionless in the background. Early summer air is still, leaving no dust motes disturbed. The geometric lines of the stairs guide the gaze upward, where the final crane rests against a frosted glass pane, its paper edge catching the first true beam of sunlight.
