A collaborative art piece dedicated to refugees that America has denied help to. We noticed a lot of people don’t know or understand what is going on (many don’t even know there’s a crisis). This was created to make the people in our college think and maybe understand the issue more. My only wish is that we could make real changes with this art piece, but it hopefully speaks for itself.

A new pictures from my collaboration with the NGO TSOS. PHOTO: SAHAR came from an Islamic country. she  was obliged to leave her country, because she would like to become a Christian. She fell in tears after telling her story : " I faced many difficulties, and I was alone for long time. I have been alone for three years since I came in Germany. I arrived here barefoot and in very bad conditions. I could not come here by airplane, since I had no money. I had to work whole-day shifts in a restaurant in Turkey for a month. Then I finally got some money, I left Turkey, moved to Greece, Serbia, Cyprus, and after that I reached Austria. And after that, I left Austria and came to Germany. I was in the camp for a year and a half. After that, I went to court and explained everything truthfully. In spite of that, they want to deport me back to my country. Perhaps that wouldn’t have been the case if I had lied - many others who told lies instead of what really happened to them were accepted. But I told the truth, so I was rejected and told I should go back. I cannot go back, I really cannot. If that had been an option, I would not have tolerated these three years full of problems and loneliness. I suffered hunger and cold, I lacked money and clothes, and I have been so lonely " TSOS ( There Stories are your Stories) is an NGO who meet refugees and help them to tell their stories.

Une photo du projet avec l'ONG TSOS que j'ai intitulé " Génération invisible". J'ai rencontré de nombreux volontaires qui essaient d'aider les réfugiés. Malgré le découragement qu'ils expriment, j'ai découvert en les écoutant, une profonde humanité. A photo of the project with the NGO TSOS that I entitled "Invisible Generation".
