"It wasn't snow "
Medium: Mixed media ;SIze: 8 x 8 inches
Remembering the sorrow created by the US military nuclear bomb test called Operation Crossroads in July 1946, The children of Bikini Atoll believed the radiated ash of nuclear testing was snow as it fell and covered the land, resulting in radiation poisoning. The U.S. Navy did not arrive on the island until 3 days after the explosion to study the impacts of radiation on the inhabitants, treating them as nothing more than test subjects in a deadly experiment.
