If you were living in Japan, you would frequently experience earthquakes.

After I took an earthquake class as a requirement of my degree,

I kept a lot of the seismogram graphs in my pile of papers on my bookshelf.

I painted the movements - and fear they cause - in these paintings.

“M8” signifies the earthquake magnitude, while “5.5” refers to the earthquake magnitude scale.

At magnitude 5.5, earthquakes can cause slight damage to buildings and other structures.​​
