There is no deep, hidden message behind my photographs, except to show something else than all the negative, destructive images flooding the media. The Ishinomaki that I saw was not just destroyed houses, and crushed cars piled on top each other. It was a scene of human strength and brotherhood, people putting aside their selfish motives and working together to help one another. These were just ordinary people who amazed me with their strength and humility in the face of immeasurable loss and tragedy. Through my photographs, I wish to communicate hope, that one day Ishinomaki and the people of Tohoku will stand proud of how they faced and overcame, one of the biggest disasters of the century. ~Arito Suzuki
