Christina Force A really strong conceptual approach which brings our attention to this terrible human loss.
An average of 9 people have died every day since 2014 trying to reach Europe by sea. The numbers are higher than in most active wars, but the social alarm is not the same despite the fact that these deaths occur at the gates of Europe. Sea of Mourning is the result of years of work documenting the different migratory routes to Europe through the sea. On these routes, deaths do not stop and shipwrecks are often invisible. The project combines journalistic investigation of these shipwrecks with submerged images of the portraits that the families use to try to obtain some type of information.
