Each sculpture in this installation carries a unique story, shaped by a distinct journey, memory, and experience of migration. No two paths are the same, yet together they form a broader reflection of movement, identity, and belonging. These stories are personal, at times quiet, at times profound, but always deeply human. They invite you to look beyond the surface of the work and connect with the lives they represent. To hear the individual migration stories behind each sculpture, please follow the links below.
