In today's world, children are compelled to interpret the emotions of others through the veil of masks. Their efforts to communicate rely on the cues they perceive in the other person's eyes, or the emotions they sense emanating from their entire being. This artwork was created with the aspiration that one day we will once again see the beaming faces of children under clear blue skies, even though we are aware that such skies may already be a distant memory.

現代の子供たちは、マスク越しに相手の感情を読み取るしか術がありません。そのため相手の目を見て感じることや、相手の身体全体から伝わって来るフィーリング、それらを基にコミュニケーションを試みます。この作品は、早く青空の元で子供たちの笑顔が見られますようにという祈りを込めて制作されました。その青空はもう思い出の彼方にあるのだろうと知りながら。
