Everyday is a New Day We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.

Due to a tragic mine accident that took place in Ikeshima 10 years ago most people were forced to leave the island due to dangerous levels of pollution. I photographed this at 2 am while listening of a concert of bugs, and animals. Locals warned me of poisonous snakes.

Ikeshima is an island in the south of Japan that used to be known for its active and prosperous coal mine. Due to a tragic mine accident 10 years ago most people were forced to leave the island due to dangerous levels of pollution. The corridors were filled with children’s toys, it made me imagine a place that was once bustling with life.
