This work is a device made to experience the consciousness of other people. My motivation for making this work started after my experience of caring of my father who was in vegetative state. It is uncertain whether one is conscious or not in a vegetative state, but it is frightening to think that one could be conscious. Inherent in humans are natural healing power and the power to reduce psychological burden. I want to believe in the possibilities of this power. It is said that only the hearing ability remains until just before people pass away, and I regret that I did not mention this thought to my father. Even if it is one-sided love, nothing will get across if you do not speak out.
