Homonym: Obliteration (Erasure)
Obliteration refers to the act of completely destroying or removing something so that it no longer exists or can be recognized. This term can apply to various contexts, such as the obliteration of a physical object, a memory, or even a concept. In a more abstract sense, it can also describe the erasure of information or data.
In literature and art, obliteration can symbolize the loss of identity or the impact of conflict. For example, the Obliteration Room by artist Yayoi Kusama uses white space that becomes filled with colorful stickers, representing the transformation and eventual disappearance of the original design.
