Back of Affection is an installation by Midori Hirota, a Japanese artist based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The idea of Hirota's work sprung from a visit to Fort Santiago in August 2005, which coincided with the anniversary of the end of WWII.
In this exhibit, Hirota turns to the intricacies of human interactions as a way of dealing with this experience. Hirota says, "Everybody has his way of expressing affection, but usually people wear masks. Sometimes it's hard for us to really understand and feel what the other think. You are not sure that even if he is smiling, behind his smile, who knows if he's crying."
