The Sarin Gas Attack on March 20, 1995 affected three subways lines in Tokyo, Japan. This project was intended to create awareness about the incident and remind the public about the 12 people who were killed and thousands injured during the attack. The animation is a reenactment of the event and notes the loss and suffering caused by the organization responsible for the attack, an organization still active after a quick name change. The project was intended for a non-Japanese audience but was also designed with Kanji elements to reinforce the language used in the Tokyo subway system and by the Japanese victims of the attack. The project hopes to encourage cross-cultural communication and break language barriers.
Hiromi Zimmerman: was born in Kanagawa-ken, Japan but was raised in Honolulu, Hawai‘I from the age of three. Living with bi-lingual parents and growing up in a culturally diverse part of the word, Hiromi became interested in universal forms of communication. Through the skills and knowledge acquired from her Bachelor in Fine Arts in graphic design at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Department of Art and Art History, she hopes to create designs that transcend how graphic forms are conventionally conveyed and embrace new forms of media.
