[Notes from the artist]
The houses around ours had all collapsed and the flames were rising. My husband held our 4-year old and I pleaded for our 2-year old, whose brains were oozing from her head, to live…barefoot, we ran over power lines, telephone poles, and collapsed houses towards Sentei Garden.
