From Above featured in KYODO NEWS article

Thursday, August 11th, 2022

An article written by Miki Shirasaka for KYODO News about From Above was published in several newspapers around Japan.  From Above is a collection of portraits and reminiscences of atomic bomb survivors and firebombing survivors from the Second World War.  From Above is permanently exhibited at the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Hall for Atomic Bomb Victims. It has also been exhibited in numerous international museums and was most recently exhibited in Dresden, Germany. 

The article also introduced my portraits of Ukrainian teenagers who have fled the war that is currently raging in their country.  Miki was one of the first journalists to write about From Above when I began the project in 2008.  I’m grateful for her interest throughout the years.
