InDesign: Playing with Type2 ~"Subtraction"~

I posted similar project I have done in Adobe InDesign using word "Transition" yesterday. This is with word "Subtraction" version. The visual has to support meaning of the word, and two images below here are what I came up with. I personally like first image a lot. It reminds me a little child plays with paper(origami to me) with scissors. Could it be from my childhood memory in Japan?

Definition from answer.com:
-noun.
1.The act or process of subtracting; deduction.
