The Great Illusion - 2012
From afar, it seems peaceful and free. But the title's reference to Jean Renoir’s film is a warning. Looking closer, African migrants are sailing to an uncertain Parisian future. This metaphor testifies to their odyssey and this modern tragedy taking place in the Mediterranean sea.

تبدو الصورة ساكنة وحرة من بعيد. لكنّ إشارة العنوان إلى فيلم جان رينوار هي تحذير بالتفاصيل الموجودة في الصورة. وبالنظر عن كثب، تشاهد المهاجرين الأفارقة وهم يبحرون إلى مستقبل غامض في باريس. تشهد هذه الاستعارة على رحلتهم الملحمية الغامضة، وهذه المأساة الحديثة التي تحدث في منطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط.
