Unfinished Projects
Found Bear, Fukushima, 2017
A stuffed bear sits waiting in Fukushima storefront turned community run lost and found.
In the years following the 3/11 disaster, volunteers would hunt through piles of wreckage and collected items caught up in the flow of tsunami waters to find toys, photo albums, awards, and decorations. Things that might be sentimental or important to someone, with hope they would later be reunited. Most of these objects remain unclaimed.
