Her work consists of 100 hand-made paper cups made in the shape of
Japanese matcha bowls. The cups are made from leftover scraps of paper
ìMost of us purchase beverages daily, perhaps numerous times a day,
drink them, and dispose of the container. Is there anything we take for
granted more than a paper cup?î Ginsberg says.

employed as a medium for social interventionî.

by shadowsî.
