A series of three sculptures following the trajectory of the three mediterranean migration routes into the EU in recent years. The three pieces are constructed of geocells, a material which is used to prevent erosion and the movement of soil. The eastern mediterranean route into Greece represents the arrival of 1,083,248 of immigrants by sea since the onset of the current migrant crisis. The passage from Turkey to the Greek island of Lesvos is one of the shortest sea routes into the EU, and therefore one of themost frequented paths within the eastern route. Numbers represent the latest available figures of sea arrivals to Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Malta and Spain, dating back through 2015 when the European migrant crisis began, as published by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency at https://data2.unhcr.org/en/situation/mediterranean.

More information on the sources of these figures can be found at https://data2.unhcr.org/en/documents/download/55964.
