His latest exhibition \u201cThe Plague\u201d is both a metaphorical and social message that speaks to the allure and hypnotic ambivalence of money. Each piece in the exhibition was created from an uncut sheet of U.S. currency, taking Mabona up to five hours to complete. \u201cThe Plague\u201d is part of the master exhibition \u201cFOLDING PAPER: The Infinite Possibilities of Origami,\u201d on display in the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles starting on March 10 where it will run through August 26, 2012.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Knowledge<\/p>\n<p>Japanese American National Museum<br \/>\n369 E.
