A participatory art work.
I, who am the artist and participant, make a face mask together while listening to the viewer's story of "a person who wants to pray for their health" and praying for their health. This work was created based on the artist's own experience. Around February 2020, when COVID-19 was gradually spreading, I came up with the idea of making something by printing it while looking at the photographs I had taken with people from various countries.
At that time, I sewed the face mask I wore as a talisman when I went out and started praying for the health of the people in the photo, and I shared it in the form of a work.

Ask the viewer to select two photos of a person who wants to pray for health in the current situation, and send them to the writer's PC. Then, print the photo selected on the spot on a cloth and ask them to cut it while talking about their memories and future stories. I prayed for the health of the person for whom the viewer wanted to pray while sewing the cloth on which the cut photo is printed, and when the face mask was made, I gave it to the viewer.
