Confluence Without Witness

Confluence Without Witness is an installation that brings together a body of artwork centered on the meeting point of two histories at the horizon line. Encasing a quiet but charged space where boundaries dissolve and distinctions blur. This visual convergence of these bodies of water reflect the collision of past and present, memory and inheritance, history and its aftermath.

This installation is scheduled to be on view for the August 9th anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki. A Peace Memorial Ceremony is held annually on August 9th at the Nagasaki Peace Park in Japan to honor victims of the 1945 atomic bombing and make an international call for nuclear disarmament and abolition.

Midori Morrow is an interdisciplinary artist and nuclear peace activist working in alternative photographic media and textile installation. As a queer Asian American artist, their practice explores the impact of war on the Asian American diaspora, particularly how inherited trauma, displacement, and intergenerational memory shape younger generations. Through themes of softness, empathy, and care, Morrow creates work that reflects on identity, belonging, and the joy of found family and queer connection as sites of healing and resistance. Their installations invite viewers into intimate conversations on community, survival, and what it means to build home beyond traditional structures. Their artistic work runs in tandem with their activism, using visual storytelling as an entry point into the movement for nuclear disarmament. www.midorimorrow.com
