Contribution for PARTNERS Issue 3 “WHY BE TOGETHER?“
PARTNERS is an annual magazine about relationships. Sparked by a friend's question — "What defines people as partners?" — this edition begins by listening. We asked 33 contributors from around the world, “Why be together?” Their answers, spanning artists, photographers, and thinkers, reveal the many shapes connection can take. Each voice offers a different understanding of intimacy, conflict, and belonging. We hope PARTNERS invites you to pause, reflect, look again at the people around you — and perhaps, update your way of being together, too.

HOW TO EXTRACT MEMORIES FROM ESSENTIAL OILS
By Asako Shiroki, Artist in Berlin, Germany
＝＝
About homework project:
Look at your surroundings, and use your imagination and your knowledge: do we always need new things?
How can we use the things that are already around us in a different way? How can we give them a new purpose?
In other words, how can we see them as resources? Let's think together about regeneration.
