The title of our work, Joy’n was made by combining the words ‘joy’ and ‘join’. With joy’n as our concept, we combined waste material destined to be thrown away to create an enormous stage and monument. During the event period, the appearance of these two works will change into different forms through the touch of additional artists. We NETABAROX sincerely hope that Joy’n will bring joy to and act as a means of connecting a wide number of people.

A sight from childhood memory; something I imagined when I was young; a handcrafted world of my own; something that connects forest, city, and people...This is the kind of thing I want to make.Secret hole for a Troll - Something that came out of a cartoon; something that connects two places; not a thing that allows you to go anywhere an unlimited number of times, but simply a secret hole, like a short cut. I think it’s the flexibility of use that appeals to me.
