Before giving birth, I was inspired by an idea from a friend artist of having a post partum project, mainly to have a little time for myself. But after learning that my baby had to stay in the NICU for a while, the project has developed more into an emotional support ritual for me. Just taking the mind off from worrying too much but also letting out the emotions that is too complicated to explain in words. There are still ups and downs these days, but the collection gives me hope that one day I can show this to my son and tell the story.
出産前は産後の自分の為の楽しいプロジェクトとして考えていただけだったんだけど、赤ちゃんのNICUでの長期入院が決まってからは自分の心を支える儀式みたいなものへと変化していった気がする。心配する気持ちを一瞬少し忘れる時間をつくるーだけど同時に言葉にならない想いを発散させてみる。正直まだ浮き沈みがある日々を過ごしているけど、いつかこのコレクションを前にこんな物語があったんだよって息子に伝えられるかもと思うと希望を感じる。
