[1/3] More generally, it refers to the fear of a threat or hypothetical nuclear war. I think it may fall under techphobia and like ballistophobia, it is a recent one, born precisely with the dropping of the first nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since that insane event, the anguish caused by this historical shock has never faded and the growing international tension and warlike rhetoric may further increase this condition. Albert Einstein is often quoted reflecting on the fear and consequences of nuclear weapons. In a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939, Einstein expressed concerns about the potential for devastating destruction if nuclear weapons were used. His reflections on the dangers of nuclear technology contributed to the broader discourse on nucleomituphobia and the ethical implications of nuclear warfare.

[2/3] On the morning of 6 August 1945, as the atomic bomb was dropped by US airmen on the city of Hiroshima, 15-year-old Chieko Kiriake was crossing a bridge on her way to the hospital. Just as she was standing in the shade of a riverside warehouse to get some rest, the bomb exploded. The decision to stop for breath saved her life. Since then she has continued to bring her experience to young people. Kiriake's story is not only about the physical disaster caused by nuclear weapons, but also about the corrosive and traumatic mental damage suffered by the victims. This post-photography is a tribute to her and all the survivors.
