During the pandemic, people were unable to meet with their loved ones, share their daily lives or spend time together at important moments. But they still recorded those events on their phones.
I asked 300 people from 42 countries to choose an image of a single moment that they wish they could have shared in person.
The images are displayed in masu boxes, used to measure rice in Japan when rice was ‘precious’ as both food and a form of currency. Now, the boxes contain ‘precious moments’ from all over the world.
The work is a record of birth, life and death arranged in the form of an imperfect sphere, representing the way the fragile connections that hold the world together have been stretched but not broken by the pandemic.
