"Boundaries between life and death are uncertain among those living in the Tohoku region. The concept of sei (生 life) and shi (死 death) are often fused together in the mountains to become one life/death concept. It’s a common belief shared in the region. In January 2010, I moved from Paris to my hometown in Fukushima prefecture. I moved in with my boyfriend (now husband) to start a new chapter in my life. Soon after, I became pregnant with my first baby. 3 months later, during my prenatal checkup, my doctor told me that “the baby’s heart has stopped beating.” It made me felt like a ‘mountain’ fused with life and death. In hope to trace the memories of my baby, I grabbed my camera and wandered outside. My camera introduced me to the celestial landscapes of Fukushima. the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, and the Fukushima 1 nuclear plant exploded. Just after the Like a world mixing life and eternity, it made me feel unreal and very confused."
