Asumi Okubo, a second-year master’s student in the Media Design Course (Tomotari Laboratory), has won the New Talent Award in the Western Painting Division at the 70th Nagasaki Prefectural Art Exhibition for her painting Memories of Wounds and Prayers.
Okubo, a native of Nagasaki, has long engaged with the issue of preserving the memory of the atomic bombing. This work is an outstanding piece where the layered expressions of blurring and bleeding convey the sedimentation of pain and the depth of prayers offered.
