Nature And Its Manifestations: From Four Poems
自然と兆候/4つの詩から
The disaster of March 11, 2011 has deeply changed the lives of many people, as well as the landscapes in which those people lived. Numerous places have become ghost towns, and nature reconquers the space freed from human presence. Through the eyes of three fellow artists exploring the area around Fukushima, Takamasa IWASAKI presents a poetic chronic of life, death, and rebirth.
