Reproduce the scenarios of the urban decay. Here is the mission of the Japanese artist Satoshi Araki. THE Diorama (or dioramas) are small-scale settings of various kinds of stairs, which can be created for artistic purposes, but also for architecture and engineering.
In this case, the miniature settings of Satoshi Araki become works of denunciation, since they place the problem of urban decay directly before our eyes, starting withabandonment of waste, up to the poor care of the streets and public spaces.
The world of miniature art in Japan is very vast. There are numerous artists who create moniatura scenes, emphasizing the smallest details. For a lifetime, Satoshi Araki, now 45, has been involved in reconstructing miniature models of cities, cars and bicycles. A passion that can turn into an opportunity for denunciation of the bad habits of today's world.
Here then is that his attention is captured by urban landscapes ruined by decay or war. With recycled materials he realizes the scenarios of urban decay in the smallest details, with meticulous attention to the plastic bottles and crumpled cans of drinks.

Among the most popular scenarios are the accumulations of waste, for example of old abandoned tires, where nature tries to regain possession of the spaces that had been stolen from it. Grass grows back in the garbage and flowers sprout, while materials stacked in a corner rust. Nobody thinks about cleaning up the streets, rebuilding, improving the landscape. These miniatures of decay show us that the time has come for action.
