Akiko Hatakeyama

Time flows without ruffling the smooth surface. This dimension of my and other people’s lives always moves forward. However, underneath the surface, countless events happen, and our emotional states constantly fluctuate. Aida partially represents my current relationship with my family. Our time passes regardless of our geographical distance, and I know that our life is not the same everyday. It is really not flat.  But, I am not the one experiencing my family’s life, and they are not the ones experiencing mine. We do not even observe each other much because of the distance.
