—Carrying on Memories and Experiences—
It’s 14 years since the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. People starting over have proceeded to lead new lives in a landscape with no trace of what it once was. There may still be bitter unerasable emotions. What kind of meaning can we detect from the images captured by cameras that bore witness to that time? We also look at the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake and Rain Disaster. Our present time is continually joined to those moments.
