My Brother’s Garage 3, 2018
They say appearances can be deceiving. I think about that a lot. How things look to the outside world vs how they really are. How you can sometime, if you look really closely, see the cracks, or the mold, or the chipping paint. But you have to be looking. You have to have a reason to look closer. At a passing glance, everything always looks fine. He always seemed so happy they said.

My brother’s suicide. The Tōhoku earthquake. Seemingly unrelated events which had a significant impact on my life.
Abrupt devastation. Unanswerable questions.
Unfinished projects.

Water Tank, Fukushima Daiichi, 2017
Like most nuclear power plants Fukushima Daiichi uses water to keep the radioactive rods cool. After the earthquake in March 2011 radioactive water began leaking into the Pacific Ocean. Over the following years a number of different plans were developed and implemented in attempt to stop this leakage, including storing the radioactive water in giant tanks on the property. Eventually there was no more space for water tanks, and as of 2021 the current plan is to slowly release the water into the Pacific Ocean over the next 30 years.

Standing in front of this tank, where I took this photo, the radiation level was 5887 cpm, for comparison the radiation level in a normal uncontaminated environment is closer to 30 cpm.

My Brother’s Garage 2, 2018
My brother was a mechanic. He fixed stuff. He’d go looking for broken and discarded things, take them apart, and build something new from their parts. He found a way to find beauty in the wreckage. From a distance, I thought he did that with his own life as well. I thought he was building something new from the wreckage. What he left behind told a different story. He had firmly embraced the wreckage and abandoned hope of ever rebuilding.
