Insights from Insula Tokyo

Living in that luxury apartment feels like a trap. Minori has everything but she is still suffocating in the silence.

“In this building, everyone is a stranger.”

Money just makes the isolation sharper. Everyone in the building is close together but they never really touch.

Tokyo feels like a character that wants to swallow people whole. The city is beautiful and terrifying all at once.

Being a mother in a place like that is lonely. You have to perform happiness while your heart is breaking.
