[Work exhibition/workshop] An alarm from the sea of light-translating environmental issues in the sea with art design and connecting them to the future.

The environment surrounding the sea poses a variety of new challenges to us.
RYUGU presents the beautiful original appearance of the sea along with a fantastic sight using waste materials collected from the sea.
At first glance, the beautiful and large seas, the negative heritage created by mankind and the light for the future coexist. We must realize that changes in the sea environment will also affect the changing dreams that the next generation sees.
・　In this exhibition, we will exhibit using the Kaneka biodegradable biopolymer "GreenPlanetR", a material that can be biodegradable even in seawater.

Exhibits such as marine cleaning projects conducted by City of Yokohama, Port and Harbor Bureau and coral transplantation activities conducted by the Tamagawagakuen Coral Research Department.

Using driftwood collected in the sea of Yokohama, we make original designs of fish and turtles.
