During my last visit to Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, the most obvious work being done was structural. Simultaneously repairing and decommissioning. Fixing and taking apart. The duality of actively working to shut something down is kind of incredible. A literal meltdown leading to a concerted effort by hundreds, if not thousands of people, towards a single goal: destruction.
Driving past this iconic blue and white building, the radiation level inside the van was 22,420 cpm, for comparison the radiation level in a normal uncontaminated environment is closer to 30 cpm.
6000x4000 Leica Q (Type 116), 28mm f/5 — My brother's suicide. The Tōhoku earthquake. Seemingly unrelated events which had a significant impact on my life.
Abrupt devastation. Unanswerable questions. Unfinished projects.
On St. Patrick's Day, my brother woke up and headed to the Irish pub near his house in Wichita, KS. He ate a sandwich, downed some drinks and made small talk while texting friends about their party plans. He left early without fanfare, returned home, took out a gun and shot himself in the head.
7 years earlier, the 4th largest earthquake ever recorded hit the Tōhoku region of Japan. A massive tsunami reached 6 miles inland. Resulting power outages triggered 3 nuclear meltdowns. Residents had only minutes to evacuate, many never received the alert. 20k dead. Thousands remain missing. 225k still displaced. Family homes destroyed. Pets abandoned. Heirlooms lost to the waves.
Seemingly unrelated events which had a significant impact on my life, I find myself comparing them constantly. I see the lasting effects in the lives of those left behind. I feel the struggle, the potential.
