Used to protect the product of ” Styrofoam box protection type”, designed to be discarded at the beginning.

Styrofoam and planting, in this case, acts as a basic material, highlighting the current spatial asymmetry in cost and value, as well as turn the discarded material to beautiful public art structure.
