Breaking Stones

Self publishing book (2017)

I was a child with Selective Mutism.

I imparted what I felt mentally and physically at that time to a dancer, Reisa Shimojima, and asked her to perform as she interprets it.

Reisa is not directly involved in a disorder like this.

This work’s main theme is the picturing of the minorities by a person on the side of the majority.

I have followed her expressions to complete this book.
