The Sea/Sky Of Rootlessness (Temporary, Illegal, Failing)

The sea/sky of rootlessness is an attempt to draw a 70 square meters map that intends to discuss the rigidly segmented lines of citizenship, ethnicity and cultural membership which are learnt by growing up within a specific social context; and ultimately uproot the individual from such lines in order to “replace the idea of origin with that of destination”.

Through the action of sneaking into a forbidden area and drawing a symbolic sea/sky I aim to question the borders of (il)legality as well as the thresholds of national sovereignty; in reference to the notion of drifting.
