"CanCam", the fashion magazine icon in Japanese young girls’ culture, was formed from campus life to show infinite youth. Japanese artist Maruyama Junko, however, uses the word "CanCam" as a way to sample campus life. She employs used oil from the campus cafeteria as a contrast to fashion and to express an ongoing circulation through her installation.  

"Maruyama Florist" is a project that to make a new circulation from transforming the used objects. Japanese artist Maruyama Junko hopes to connect people and things from the conflicting elements such as "ecology", "economy", and "art".

Maruyama de-constructs various kinds of plastic bags from daily life to reconstruct and compose into colorful flowers. By the repetition of complicated handcrafting of the flowers, she transforms these artificial objects from ordinary usage into a reproduction of nature. She also attempts to create a competition between real flowers and plastic flowers and to evoke thoughts of the circulation of nature.
