The multimedia light installation repurposes discarded cardboards and styrofoam to address the issue of contemporary disposable culture. Through an immersive experience, the installation invites viewers to stroll through an artificially created forest and participate in a shadow play.

Unlike a unidirectional imposition of criticism, the installation takes a nuanced approach by encouraging viewers to reflect on the beauty of walking through a forest, a natural wonder that is often destroyed to cater to human consumption, and ironically, as disposable packaging for consumer goods.

By utilizing discarded materials in its creation, the installation highlights the environmental impact of disposable culture and prompts viewers to contemplate their own role in contributing to this issue. The immersive experience of walking through the installation and participating in the shadow play creates an interactive and engaging dialogue between the viewer and the artwork, fostering a sense of introspection and reflection.
