Its was done for a reason. In their opinion, the motif reflects some sadness of people around them who were exposed by Covid, or those family who has been left behind by their loved ones who died for Covid-19.

To them, the motif wasn’t something to be proud of, but as a reminder of the struggle of those people who fight against the deadly virus. "It's a virus, epidemic, pandemic, I don’t think its worth to be made as a masterpiece," Ita said.
