I regularly collect cardboard discarded
from 35 countries and regions around the world
and make wallets out of it.
I eventually became obsessed
with the material of the cardboard itself I was using to make wallets
and started conducting activities for promoting its charm.
Through my travels, I realized that there are
many other fascinating materials besides cardboard
that are thrown away or not given attention to.
This work is a sample of the collected materials that I felt such potential in.
There is a story behind not just cardboard,
but every minor object
that has ever been used.
And those items can look completely different
simply by being in a different place and time.
By changing one’s perspective
perhaps nothing in the world
is useless.
