'What makes a person sad?'' was a question that popped into my mind when listening to ''Air Mata'' by Tohpati. My own answer to that question was ''when I have to hide my sadness''. Especially as a woman, we are stereotyped as emotional and irrational, thus I always tried to suppress negative feelings (but always failing to do so). Thus I wanted to tell a story of a woman who wanted to hide her tears, but was forced by her ''other self'' to face the audience, forcing her to become vulnerable to the audience.
