"Language is a crucial cultural element. While a singular, definitive event has occurred somewhere in the world, each newspaper has a different viewpoint. Through my site-specific installation, I hint at other perspectives among the audience and question how we co-exist with all the different viewpoints.”
— Eiko Nishida
