People has always moved..if we go back in history we can see this..So in a way there is nothing new in that ..but..The reason for moving , traveling , migrating has changed...Today , with all the conflicts , civil wars , poverty & hopeless sitaurations for millions of people...its easy to understand that people take the chance to find a better life...and maybe not so much for them self..as for there children who is about to start there life...Hoping for something better for them...It dosent always go that way...thousends of people lose ther life just " trying " to go....Think about it..you take the chance to sail across the Mediterranean Sea..in some shitty boat.." very well knowing that you might go down on the way "...These people are connected, they have phones, internet...they know the risk !!...And then you still choose to go !!!....How to solve the problems with all these people..I dont know !.....But we need to help them and do the best we can.....One day...It might be " us " who need a helping hand.
This is what this painting is about.
