A year on from the tsunami disaster in Japan and although most of the debris has been cleared, there are still fragments of what used to be; a dislocated, disjointed landscape of cracked roads, childrens toys, planes, cars and fishing vessels scattered along the coast...
These objects that seem like they have fallen out of the sky and landed themselves in random places in devastated towns are haunting reminders of what happened only a year ago.
Town halls are only useful to the towns they serve, and perhaps the towns that have been through so much need a place to take refuge, a place to come together, a place where they can start re-building with what fragments of the past that they have left.
This is not just about recycling, this is more than that, this is a tribute to those who lost their lives and those who lost everything but their lives, and this is a symbol of the triumph of human spirit.
