Don't throw me away

Wellpapp örhangen

What we consider useless can be reused if we have found their own merits. All we need is just patience.

Currently, more and more people like to shop online. And corrugated cardboard is a frequently used protective material during transport. When we receive packages, we save the goods we have bought, but most of the time we throw away the corrugated cardboard as rubbish. I think it's a bit of a shame. So I've made several pieces of jewelry out of corrugated cardboard to show off the beautiful qualities of corrugated cardboard that we overlook. Used corrugated cardboard is often considered trash and useless. But the jewelry made of precious metals and looking like used corrugated cardboard, which can be kept and worn daily, has led to a completely different use. Junk or treasure, useless or useful? This great contrast between value and use reflects a dissonance. In fact, however, what we consider useless can be reused if we have the patience to find their own merits. So this dissonance makes it possible to make people think. Through this collection of lots, I wanted to encourage people to discover the benefits of useless things and find new ways to reuse them.
