Artist Yuken Teruya has managed to turn the grease-stained brown paper bags from McDonalds into beautiful, delicate paper forests.



In the Notice-Forest series, Teruya cuts one side of a paper bag in a tree shape. The cut-out tree is folded down so that it appears to be part of a diorama to onlookers who look inside the bag.Teruya reclaims paper bags back into what they once were--trees.
