People laugh and hide their feelings. Look at the person who is smiling now; look at the person's eyes. Are the eyes above the smile saying that they are okay? Only those who hide themselves with laughter will know what emotions are behind smiling. The smiling pieces smaller than the knee level hug their bodies as if to protect them. This smile is to protect me. It may be a protective layer like an eggshell that asks you not to come close to me. We are lonely and solitude, but everyone, not just me, lives with that feeling. These pieces ask you, "I'm fine. How about you?"
