故郷 陸前高田

親戚から、祖母によく似た遺体があると連絡が入った。覚悟はしているつもりだったが、いよいよ現実と向き合わなければならないという状況は、私の覚悟などいとも簡単に飛び越えていった。遺体安置所までの車からの風景を何枚も撮った。

 A relative told us that there was dead in the river who resembled my grandmother. I would prepare myself for seeing my grandmother, but there was far more than I thought in the situation that I had to face the truth. I took photos of scenery of my hometown over and over from the car window while we were heading toward the makeshift morgue.
