We are pleased to announce the "Suke(transparent)Bear" exhibition!. "Suke Bear" is a bear made out of plastic bags with a zipper mouth who eats everything he can find!

Objects of work, hobbies, and interests often go through the transition of paper prior to this change they may have been fabric for textiles or
packaging for a product. These objects had names specified to their
function yet at the end they become trash.

"Trash or Bear" is having 20 to 24 individuals to take things that are so
called trash and put in to their "Suke Bear". Before the exhibition we will
collect the "Suke Bear" and have profiles with a photo of their faces,
occupation, hobbies, etc.
