General Notes

Note

The artwork developed from the artist’s travels to Nagasaki, her husband’s family home. While visiting the Atomic Bomb Museum in Nagasaki, the artist saw the charred remains of artifacts, including children’s tin lunchboxes with ashes of rice. Her experiences triggered memories of the artist’s family experiences during the Holocaust.
