Art for Peace picture
Artist: Nanami W.
Location: Hiroshima, Japan
Age: 17
"うつり変わってゆく時代の中で大切なのは、過去の悲劇を知り、忘れないことだけではありません。それを次の世代に伝え、より多くの人が過去の悲劇を知り、同じく伝えていくことが、平和への道のひとつだと思います。この絵ではそんな平和への願いを込めて、「知る」と「伝える」を糸電話で表現しました。

The important thing in the world where fast changes take place is to know the tragedies of the past well, and not just ‘not to forget’ about them. We are told to tell them to the next generation, so that more people know about the tragedies of the past. I think that this is one of the roads to peace. In this picture, it is expressed by a paper telephone. This is a wish for peace expressed through the message of ‘to know’ and ‘to tell’."
