Afloat, is an ongoing photographic series that tells the story of Greece's notoriously unsafe Moria refugee camp and the thousands of people who called it home.
Revisiting the overcrowded facility on the island of Lesbos in late 2020, a lot had changed: during a COVID-19-related lockdown, a great fire had turned the camp into ashes leaving about 13,000 people without shelter for weeks to follow. In an effort to retrace my steps, Afloat 2.0 chronicles this devastating aftermath in a sequence of diptychs portraying two different time periods within the same year -before and after the fire- when life in Moria took a turn from bad to worse overnight. Juxtaposing those two realities side by side this project illustrates the aftershock of the destruction.
Staying afloat is now more important than ever.
