A few weeks after the Tohoku earthquake, the photographer, Hirohito Nomoto (a.k.a nomoto piropiro) visited the disaster area where the earthquake and consequent Tsunami caused the biggest damage, whilst there he started to work on the two photograph series, "Facade" and "Debris".

Firstly, "Facade". Nomoto recorded the facade of various buildings such as residences, shops, schools and even sheds which were badly damaged but still left standing after the Tsunami hit.

Using special lens, his work captures the facade of each building in detail emphasizing its structure, function and design. Almost like the work of an architecture photographer "Facade" aims to allow the viewer to try and see beauty amidst such catastrophic conditions.

For "Debris", he chose rubble as a topic. For this he used images of the tones of debris that were being shifted and trying to be classified in the devastated area. The images were taken with high quality digital equipment and edited on a computer to form a "patchwork" composed of millions of pixels to complete a single ultra-high-resolution image.

Although the details of every single rubble pile can be clearly seen, when printed this overwhelming amount of information put together by a large number of pixels almost resembles an abstract painting.

Throughout the series, there is one common thing that is Monoto's objective view on the subject.

He tried to keep his emotions away as he worked on this project, trying to eliminate the tragic aspects of the disaster whilst daring to portray a detached view of the physical facts. Then, instead of capturing the reality as a huge display, he delved deeper into the individual details. Nomoto said that's the best way to tell what really happened that day.

Art this moment, most of the subjects used on his work were removed an people have left the area in a bid to recover and rebuild.

He transformed such an emotional subject into universal art to show us loss and disaster our daily life. This needs to be remembered forever.
