About this Submission Form. 

 

The rubber was torn during sex. I forgot to take the pill. I missed my period. My baby died in my belly. What is the first thing to do in such cases? Talk to someone? Go to a hospital? What can we do? Let's imagine "together".

 

Something may be / might have been living in my belly.

 

How to look up the train schedule, how to open a hard lid, how to find a job. First of all, you will search on the Internet to find the best way for you. There are message boards on the Internet that are used by people who have had an accident that is different from the "usual".

In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day, or early in the morning, people who are wondering "What should I do?“  leave their questions and words there. There is a time lag of a few days to a few weeks before doctors write their replies, but as long as the forum is up and running, replies are received. There are also message boards where you can see the number of views, by the way.

The records of hundreds or thousands of questions and their answers are usually not erased on most message boards. Even if it has been so long time that the person who wrote the question forgets. In the future, someone who is in a similar situation may search for the same question with eager eyes, and as a result, the question from the past may be found. By chance, it may become a "straw" that provides a little relief to the person in trouble at this very moment, even though it is unreliable.

That mysterious space. We created this submission form while imagining that moment “together.” Your own words will be recorded and remain. They become "something" for someone unknown. Isn't that interesting? I thought.

distance

I feel like I've seen something I shouldn't have seen, and I can't help but step back.

 

However, there was a part that stuck with me, and I remembered it. This is such a mysterious place.

prayer

I wonder what it feels like to conceive and give birth to life.

 

The newborn baby who was supposed to be adopted has become silent and cold, but the fact that she was born here, and that her mother risked her life to give birth to her, will never disappear. In the depths of everyday life, where the sound of the washing machine echoes, the mother covered herself with a garbage bag, feeling dazed, but did she have anyone she could rely on? The mother did the last thing, but who killed the baby? 

 

This incident, which is regularly read out in 20 seconds on news programs and then forgotten, was so sad that I couldn't cry because I felt the weight of my mother's unbearable choices.

 

If I had encountered that, I think it would have been surprisingly easy for me to become like this mother, or even like a baby. I think it's a distortion and a sin of today's society that there is a "there" place where you have to choose/everything is left to your mother.

 

People say if you can't give birth, but I want it to be a place where anyone can happily raise the life they've ever wanted to give birth to, and where they can extend a hand of blessing. I also want to continue praying for the children and their mothers who have grown colder.

Not title

It felt like the whole venue was in someone's room, like a single piece of art. I felt it had a delicate feel, perhaps because of the theme. It was a good time to rewind the cassette tape.

 

I wondered if the women in the videos had someone to support them.

front and back

It felt like I was visiting a girl's room.

 

There are cosmetics and cute miscellaneous goods on the desk, and you might think that she is enjoying a peaceful life, but that is not the case.

 

The outward appearance you show to others is not everything. Behind the scenes of people who are always smiling and having fun, there are moments when they are more worried than most.

 

What can I do and what would I say if I were in that situation? That was the time I spent thinking about it.

peace of mind

I came alone at night. As I sat here, I felt restless and a little scared.

At the end of the video, I suddenly felt at ease when I heard Maria calling out to me as "mom."

That's right. Pregnancy doesn't have to be scary. But it's very scary to worry about it all by yourself and not tell anyone. I couldn't believe it was a single thing, but I felt like Maria's voice saved me.

girl's part

A clicking sound is heard

Every time I walk

good rhythm

my high heels

ah

I was also a girl

I wonder when it began

 

On my desk, I remember

 

The first day I got my period

The day I bought underwear

The day I received Dior

The day I started taking the pill

 

Although there is a slight sense of discomfort

 

It’s true that a certain “girly part” of me vividly empathized with her.

 

I hear a clicking sound as I walk.

 

It seemed like someone else's problem, but I felt so close to you

 

I got so scared that I went to the restroom of the station building to get tested, and even looked into morning-after pills.

 

if,.

 

Living close to pleasure while secretly fearing it

 

Shut up, shut up, talk sometimes

Leave it to the text

i'm alive

 

I was nervous to hear someone's voice and words, but it was a very valuable experience. I was able to be a little more honest with myself. thank you very much.

protect / be protected

Wrapping cloth, vinyl, voice, and light around things that no longer exist.

Enough and warm.

​When I was listening to a cassette tape, my legs felt numb, so I stretched them out and suddenly felt the need to go to the bathroom. By the way, I drank two cups of coffee today! I was cocooned in a protected place, but relaxed.
