Repurposed fabric shopping bag from a Chinese supermarket in Flushing, folded and sewn using shibori fabric manipulation technique. Despite being constructed to serve as a sustainable alternative to plastic bags, this bag can often be found in landfills and littered across the streets of New York City. The time-intensive manipulation process turns this common item into something special. The title references the everyday action of asking a family member to help grab the bags of groceries on the way back into the house from the supermarket.
