2043 was the number of migrants dead or missing in the Mediterranean sea in 2021*. When visiting Sicily, Italy, for my artistic research project about the Mediterranean sea, I heard on the news that a rescue boat had arrived with hundreds of immigrants in the island. And also about the 28 found dead those days. In that month, December, in a single day, there were 102 deaths, 18 children. It’s hard to imagine what makes people leave their country, family, friends to risk their lives in search of survival.
On a beach in Catania, I saw clothes, shoes, parts of toys on the shore and floating in the sea. It was impossible not to think of those people on the news. The ones trying to cross the Sea in search of a better life, in search of ways to support their families and survive. In search of hope. Every year, many lose their lives in this crossing. This is a short video in memoriam of those who lost their lives in 2021.
