Crane, for Japan
Folded crane, from a map of Japan.
As a deeply emotional person, I sometimes disconnect myself from painful realities as a method of self-protection. I am very aware of the recent and continuing events in Japan, but I have resisted feeling them with any intensity. This small project has encouraged me to engage emotionally with these events and acknowledge the empathy I feel for my brothers and sisters in difficult times around the world.
