now im preparing to create some works for my exhibition. holding on 25th august to 23th September at the Muji shop on Nan jing xi lu
At this conceptual exhibition. i attempt to reunite the meaning of production, consumption and nature displaying MUJI's representative items such as a piece of clothing, a household item and food .

Our daily life is full of things,we are more indifferent to things.nevertheless we always search for new things
We dont have much knowledge and imagination of
production :'how to make a product?'
consumption:'how people use a product?'
and nature'where does materials of a product come?'

The title of the exhibition is ' make use think'

One of the works is making notebooks sticking photos to express consumption; how people use a notebook.
so i eager to collect many many photos from many cities, Tokyo. Shanghai, Hongkong, Singapore, Taipei, Paris, London, etc.and
from many people beyond generation.

It would be so wonderful, if you sent me a page of notebook until 20th July.
Ive attached a photo as a sample,

(I drew all of my clothes three years ago, in order to know how i was greedy...)

all the best
