"Even though evidences are insufficient, questions are not made or they are being taken. I cannot cope with any more decreases of the present youth or beauty. No matter how vulnerable and distorted as a small flower they are." (Ushida)
Ushida picks up longings for beauty and emptiness and danger of beauty which hide behind what women are or should be, from different daily acts. She fixes her cool gaze upon human gender which cannot be built without mutual confirmations between people(men or women). Moreover, it reaches unreliable nature of ego that can easily be uncomfortable without dressing something of beauty, power or value.
