Moment of Zen:

Life-size origami elephant, folded from a single sheet of paper. 

The single sheet of paper was 15m square, or about 50 feet by 50 feet. It took Swiss origami artist Sipho Mabona and his team of 10 about four weeks to complete the 10 foot tall piece. The project was broadcast live on the web during the folding process and there is allegedly a time-lapse video of the process, but I haven't found it yet.
