This project was conceived for an exhibition in Nagasaki Prefectural Museum,
held during the peace memorial week in August. It is based on my
experience of finding a particular reportage while there was a severe conflict between
Hezbolla and Israel in 2006. Out of ocean of information covering the paper,
this little paragraph struck me deeply. Beyond a context of specific conflict,
it spoke to me immediately about the true affluence of humanity,
which overlapped and resonated with the people, the victims of
atomic bombs in Nagasaki /Hiroshima who turned their agony and anger into
the energy to prevent the world from having anymore victims like themselves.
