Heart project Tsurumi

The photograph and album which were collected in the Tohoku with a big earthquake.
I washed them and went to the volunteer who returns.

The photograph and film which were soaked in sea water and corroded from TSUNAMI.
A photograph full of sand, and the album which burned.
It washes one sheet at a time finely.

It hangs and dries.

It divides and collects for every kind of photograph.
Finally it puts into an album.

The photograph which was not able to be restored.
I have a memorial service collected and held.

I hear that a photograph is that person’s life what I considered by this work.
I hope for many photographs to have and to mainly return.
