Outline
A story of exploration spanning from the relics of an Ancient Greek colony in Southern Italy, to modern day shipwrecks in the Mediterranean Sea. Referencing the recent tragic circumstances that drowned thousands of migrants departing from Northern Africa to seek asylum in Europe, Other Than Our Sea collapses visual cues as layers of imagery to embroider an enigmatic idea of traveling at sea in times of conflict.
