22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Atomic Shadows
Okamoto’s “Myth of Tomorrow”, displayed in Shibuya Station, depicts the horrors of nuclear war, centered around an exploded skeleton. To conceptualize this theme, I layered long exposures, creating a "vaporizing" effect akin to Hiroshima and Nagasaki’s atomic shadows. A man leaning by the mural’s plaque mirrors the skeleton.
