I searched for the reason why I have been so caught up in canopies, and found that it was because canopies are both aesthetic and functional. However, the use of canopies is decreasing based on my experiences. This may be due to a trend that pursues removing any decorative items while putting up with minor inconvenience.

Canopies usually play their roles on rainy or snowy days, but when there is an umbrella or heavy rains and winds, canopies become not as useful as before or even useless. Nowadays, there are many entrances without canopies, and canopies are sometimes excluded when planning a façade of the space. Nevertheless, I am still intrigued by canopies, and feeling that they have some small impact on my life. Thanks to canopies, I have been experiencing that canopies are expanding a range of my thoughts and movements.

Familiar but new canopies and the plastics that I am perceiving resemble each other, and I have wanted to explore these canopies. Initially, I did not plan to make a canopy, but buy one instead and set it up at any possible places. However, there were not that many commercially available canopies, and of course nothing that could satisfy my needs
