New York-based Japanese artist Yuken Teruya specializes in transforming disposable paper products like paper bags and toilet paper rolls into stunning works of art.
Inspired by his hometown Okinawa, he constructs fragile paper trees out of these commonplace paper objects and shows how the most mundane things have immense artistic potential.
In ‘Notice – Forest’, he creates beautiful tree sculptures with paper bags from McDonald’s and other well-known brands—the mini trees that seem to have sprouted out of the bags themselves are wonderful to behold.
In another project, ‘Corner Forest’, he turned cardboard toilet rolls into strange trees by carving intricate branches that extend out of them.
