April 18, 2015 - Over seven hundred deaths in the Channel of Sicily. The biggest massacre of immigrants at sea. "My mother sold the house in Mogadishu and paid for my trip 7 thousand dollars, like the others." A large blue, in memory of large spaces. As a metaphor for distances, physical and mental... That orange cork. A house. Barted. For a trip (of hope?)
