The concertina book with the phrase - "it’s a desperate situation when the sea becomes safer than the land" - aims to provoke the viewer’s empathy and raise awareness for the refugee crisis. The book acts as a memorial for the lives lost to human trafficking. The public response to a series of washed ashore books each containing different quotations would provoke thought and action to assist those escaping war torn countries.
