I was thinking of the Japanese tsunami when I made this and how the big piles of debris floated in the ocean like islands. The world still going on about it's business as if it were just another day. The loss and sadness that the survivors must feel for the ones they lost. I know that after a loss in my own life I have often been stunned by how the sun shines and life goes on as if nothing has happened. There's both a beauty and a horror to that. At the same time, I was trying to work in the abstract and just piece together sections improvisationally. All the blues are scraps from other quilts, the yellows what I had on hand..
