The title is go me “Nature Calls” and it is located in a building across from Zushi Hayama Station. Marine debris is inseparable from our daily lives and I hope it will be an opportunity to face this issue in a fun and creative way. While beachcombing, I see the beach as a microcosm of our society and to share the experience of reviving trash as art, will have a light box for taking close-up photos of it with your smartphone. https://www.zushi-art.com/2023-triennale-04/?fbclid=IwAR0hEd4ttn_mK5MXSw5lkdX3PNjbx2Q9LsubAax2_drlSaCtVO_IKqFjbJs
