This long-term photographic project documents Fukushima after the 2011 nuclear disaster, not through moments of crisis, but through the prolonged and often invisible consequences that continue to shape daily life.

Rather than focusing on spectacle or immediate devastation, the work traces how state decisions, environmental contamination, and reconstruction policies have quietly reconfigured land, health, and community. Radiation is largely unseen, yet it governs where people can live, farm, return, or remain displaced. The violence depicted here is therefore structural rather than overt—embedded in administrative systems, delayed accountability, and uneven recovery.

Through repeated visits spanning more than a decade, I photographed landscapes, infrastructures, and communities existing between absence and normalization. Empty fields, repurposed towns, decontaminated zones, and human adaptations reveal a form of post-war development without an enemy, yet with enduring consequences.

Fukushima is often framed as a past event. This project insists it is an ongoing condition, asking how societies live with long-term damage—and what it means when recovery itself becomes permanent.
