For this ongoing work-in-progress, Taro assembled a 23’ long by 4’ wide cardboard sculpture at various places with various contexts. He has completed two so far—in a residential neighborhood in Vermont, the other around Area 51, Nevada.

What other strange, quiet places will his strucures land? “There are many things I can say around the work, but it is still in the process of development, so I rather stay quiet,” says Taro.
