The project is a two-channel video installation that weaves together text, sound, video, and sculptural elements to explore the intertwined themes of otherness and displacement. By juxtaposing the concepts of migration and tourism, it sheds light on the stark disparity between these two experiences, inviting a deeper contemplation of borders, belonging, and exclusion.

One channel presents footage captured in 2016, documenting the influx of over 700,000 Syrian refugees who risked their lives crossing European borders. This footage is layered with a contrasting live stream of surveillance footage from deserted beaches in Europe—key locations along the Mediterranean migration routes—filmed after border closures were enforced during the COVID-19 pandemic. This duality highlights the unsettling transformation of these spaces, from luxury resorts into empty, surveilled landscapes.

Through a meditative approach, the artist invites viewers to consider the layered realities of displacement, the criminalization of border crossings and the lived experiences of those forced to navigate such boundaries.
