baħar ċimiterju

Baħar Cimiterju was created in response to a 2017 Tagesspiegel report estimating that more than 33,000 migrants have lost their lives in the Mediterranean since the 1990s. The work commemorates a hundred of these individuals through a virtual monument, confronting the anonymity of mass loss at sea. By rendering absence as presence, the project highlights the paradox between the vastness of the sea and the invisibility of those who perished within it. The monument underscores the magnitude of the humanitarian crisis, transforming statistical abstraction into a site of remembrance.
