It's striking how similar this setting is to anime cliches of kids putting their shoes in their lockers. However, the hazmat suits taint the image and thwart the initial innocence.
This painting displays a unique subject matter: the combination of the disasters of 9/11 with Fukushima. Is it a desperate attempt to bring attention to the matter that the Japanese government suppresses as well as America seems to have forgotten? Or is it suggesting that all disasters are equal in their tragedy, when people die by either nature or other people's hands?
