This work was born out of a need to engage people on the street with an idea of fundamental human importance: Peace. On 11 September 2001, the fragility of peace became immediate and real not only to the citizens of the United States but to people all over the world. Destroying peace, whether deliberately or accidentally, requires the initial actions of just one person. This does not mean that peace cannot be protected and maintained. The preservation of peace requires the awareness and constant effort of every person in daily life. This is an ongoing project. – Yuichiro Nishizawa
