Execution

We recycled over 30,000 used pairs of disposable wooden chopsticks from restaurants all over Shanghai and turned them into a broken chopstick tree structure. The installation was then displayed in several busy city districts popular with restaurant diners. Through the visual impact of the fallen chopstick tree, we raised awareness of the fact that the use of disposable chopsticks results in the destruction of large numbers of trees.
