Artist James White, aka Signalnoise, created this starkly beautiful image to encourage people to give to the Red Cross and other charities that are working to help the thousands of Japanese people in need of aid after the 8.9-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami on March 11.
He designed the image in under an hour, saying "It was a simple way to illustrate the destruction from the earthquake using the rising sun. Something powerful to provoke help and aid from other people."
