Visual adventure and rescue facing the dialogue and questionings carried with every Immigrant in the dwelling conflict of belonging, welcoming and a landscape you at the same time both; invader and a part of a geo-political confusing mentality.
This is about the Immigrants in the 2024 era, post-refugee main crisis, the vestiges, and wanderers from another lans and cross oceans like me in Luxemburg, This project is mainly consequence of my conversations with them, that translates my daily reflections, awareness, dreams and nightmares , while feeling adapting, when it feels alienated, isolated, so different and so similar compared to Cabo verde in a foreign land. This is about roots, life adventure and finding the traces back to myself.
