SET SAIL AGAIN exhibition artist | TANG YIYING
Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster was one of the most severe nuclear accident in history. In 2020, the Japanese government has decided to pour wastewater into the ocean and let the ocean dilute it. Considering the potential nuclear pollution for the whole planet and people’s careless with the nuclear waste treatment, we propose a fluorescent memorial pyramid for Fukushima Daiichi plant. It not only disposals the radioactive water, preventing the wastewater from being pour into the ocean; but also works as an ecological and environmental warning, reminding people the tremendous hazard of the nuclear pollution with the fluorescence generated from the radioactivity of tritium.
