À propos du livre
Remains series consists of over forty images accompanied with both Japanese and English text. The images are photographic depictions of the remnants and consequences of the Battles of Okinawa and Saipan that visually demonstrate how these elements of the past quietly remain today. Each image is meant to be triggered by a distinct word written in both Japanese and English. This references not only the convention of carved stone war memorials but also my own attempts to navigate the gaps in translation of cultural perceptions of images and words. The Remains series seeks to build a relationship between culturally distinctive signifiers, both literal and visual. It is my hope to bridge the inherently different interpretations of these historical events through a cross-cultural lens.
