Fukushima

Digital Print, 2011 / Pacifica, California
Designed for an article in the Wall Street Journal about the Japanese Tsunami
Hokusai’s classic painting, The Great Wave off Kanagawa from the 1820s, is transformed into a
statement about a contemporary and ongoing tragedy. On March 11, 2011, a 9.0 earthquake
and subsequent tsunami hit the Pacific coast of Japan, killing over 15,000, with thousands still
missing. It was the most powerful known earthquake ever to have hit Japan, and one of the five
most powerful earthquakes in the world since modern record‐keeping began in 1900. The
powerful tsunami waves triggered by the earthquake reached heights of up to 133 ft, and
travelled up to 6 miles inland.
The tsunami caused a number of nuclear accidents, primarily the ongoing level 7 meltdowns at
three reactors in the Fukushima Dai‐ichi Nuclear Power Plant complex, first commissioned in
1971 and one of the 15 largest nuclear power stations in the world. Fukushima I was the first
nuclear plant to be designed, constructed and run in conjunction with General Electric, Boise,
and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). Hundreds of thousands of residents have been
evacuated, and the plant continues to leak radiation, contaminating the ground, groundwater,
rivers and the ocean around Fukushima and into the atmosphere.
The design of the Fukushima reactors is the Mark I, the same design used in 23 reactors in the
U.S. The containment vents of the Mark have failed three times out of three accidents,
indicating a serious design flaw, but the U.S. plants continue to operate.
