Image of pocket tissues with ironic words that rub of on your face when you blow your nose

Proposal for "Hand Laggage Exhibition" Takefumi Nagamura
Actual work will be titled as "Pocket Issue". It will be either little box form containing several soft vinyl packages or without box.
Inside of the package, printed tissue papers will be placed. These won't be actual facial tissues in due to the difficulty of printing them, but tissue paper or some sort of thin paper.
Those papers will be stained black, yellow, red and white by pastels. Most tissue papers contain an issue of little global significance rather than important one, such as .... " I'm not complaining but would you place the toilet seat down after the work done. (from ladies)" " I'm not argueing but ?" " I'm quite calm now but can't you use ash tray in the car ?" ( This is actually quite an important issue I reckon, road litter and possible bush fire or could be contributing unneccesary Green House Gas emmissions !! but anyway..)
Then some papers contain the word.. " I'm not racist but ....." They will be placed between other papers at randamly. So, as you use those "Issue Papers" to blow your nose, it will become stained to various colours regardless your own colours.
