As mentioned in the video one atomic bomb can end existence. The photograph portrays a hand that has ‘created’ a nuclear weapon. The ‘smoke’ is in the shape of a mushroom cloud which alludes to the bombings that took place in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 during the Second World War.
Conversely in the other photograph that same hand is ‘turning into smoke.’ It is ironic that we humans are the creators of the nuclear technology that can extinguish our own existence. The same hand that created the ‘weapon’ is burning out. Thus I expressed the paradoxical effect of nuclear technology on human existence, through these two pieces.
