Cherry Bomb by Nolan Fitzmaurice This piece is a cutout style collage of imagery used to represent both the US bombing on Hiroshima, and the Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor. I used a lot of Japanese imagery such as Astro Boy, one of the first Japanese cartoons birthed after WWII, soaring above modern day Hiroshima City. I also decided to place Japanese WWII planes in the sky to represent the fatal attack on Pearl Harbor. The biggest piece to this visual however, is the man proceeding to walk away from the modern day city-scape of Hiroshima. This Hiroshima refugee was a man I found in a Hiroshima historical archive online. As a final addition, I replaced the sky with cherry blossoms to resemble the blossoming culture that came out of Japan, even after their initial struggle throughout WWII.
