Poisoned Beauty | A tribute to Fukushima
As we approach the one year anniversary of the Tohoku Earthquake and resulting nuclear fallout, a visual tribute to the disaster struck Fukushima countryside by Kyoko Hamada, originally commissioned by The New Yorker to illustrate Evan Osno’s “Letters from Fukushima”. A poignancy and immediacy of her photographs belies the fact that she was photographing not what she could see, but what is actually invisible, the lives that were lost, and the livelihoods destroyed by the nuclear fallout and tsunami.
