A torii gate symbolically marks the transition from the mundane to the sacred; it was appropriate to our contemplative time and place during lockdown. Divided into our private lives, each section is different. Our regular routines knocked sideways. Quarantined, separated from our lives, our friends, ourselves. To express this tough situation, I framed this quilt as a Japanese torii gate.
