My Hands

Art for Peace picture
Artist: Kyoko K.
Location: Hiroshima Japan
Age: 17
"ヒマワリの花は、原子爆弾が投下された8月6日、9日にも美しく咲いていたでしょう。
私は、平和とは人の手によって築かれていくものだと思います。ヒマワリは、戦争前に咲いていたものと、そこから復興した未来を表しています。

I believe the sunflowers were blooming beautifully on the days when the atomic bombs were dropped, August 6 and 9. I think peace is something we build by human hands. Sunflowers and what were in bloom before the war represent the future that was revived from there."
