"Share," shaped to resemble the Corona virus, is not a mask made from whimsy and wit. It is made from anxiety and fear. An artist known for sculpture and jewelry, MARIKO KUMON intricately wove wire coated with silicone (a rubber-like material). As she explains, "I put on a mask to protect myself... But  I start to doubt that the mask can actually work...That the virus multiplies everywhere...And then it seems as if the virus reaches my mind."
