After 11 March 2011, I found a collection of poems, Sea of Eyeballs. In this excellent literary work by Yo Hemmi written after the disaster, there is no pain or sadness, especially no message, there is only a sequence of bleeding words. This power led me to write a piece based on the noise of public buildings, the helicopter of the Japanese Self-Defence Forces or mass media..., all to evoke a wave mingling with the cries of seagulls.
