Shattered Coast
A series of images taken in the seaside towns of Usuiso and Toyoma in Iwaki, Fukushima prefecture, Japan; July and August 2011, approx. 5 months after the March 11th tsunami devastated the coastline of Northeastern Japan. The clearup operation was well in progress in this area, leaving large swathes of coastline bleak, empty and devoid of human existence. This left many questions as to what was the future for these areas and many like them.
