English	Every feather represents a cup of beverage in your hand. Cuppy Bird is a series of paper-cut bird models that deconstructs the everyday beverage paper cup. Each set can be formed with less than 10 cups. Due to the lightweight and portable nature of paper cups, people often discard them after use, creating mountains of paper cup waste. We use the delicate and frequently encountered bird species as representatives, hoping to draw attention to the ecological issue of paper cup pollution.
Native	每一片羽毛都象徵著你手中的一杯飲料。《鳥杯杯》是一系列剖析日常飲品紙杯的剪紙鳥模型。每套都可以用不到10個紙杯構成。由於紙杯的輕便和方便攜帶的特性，人們經常在使用後就將它們拋棄，造成大量的紙杯廢棄物。我們以精緻且常見的鳥類作為代表，希望引起對紙杯污染生態問題的關注。這些紙盃小鳥的設計是為了喚起人們對於日常浪費的反思。這種不加思索地丟棄紙杯的習慣正對環境產生負面影響，我們希望透過這個藝術品提醒人們改變使用習慣。藉著剪紙小鳥的獨特形象，我們呼籲大眾共同參與解決這個問題。每個小鳥都是一種視覺上的訊息，提醒我們每一杯紙杯都有其獨特的環境代價。這不僅僅是一場為了藝術而展開的創作，更是對可持續生活方式的一種探索。我們期望這些小鳥能夠成為社會對話的一部分，激發人們思考，促使對紙杯使用的改變。通過這些簡單而強烈的藝術形式，我們希望創建一個更環保、更有意識的社會。
