Upon hearing news of the earthquake and massive tsunami that demolished whole cities in her native Japan, Airi Katsuta made plans to help with the recovery effort. For a summer she volunteered in the coastal city of Ishinomaki, where the ASU School of Art photography major captured images of devastation and hope, with her grandfather's Minolta 35mm camera. In this photograph, a fusuma (sliding door panels) has been set outside to dry.
