Estella Mare - boat people
“boat people is a term that usually refers to refugees or asylum seekers who emigrate in numbers in boats that are sometimes old and crudely made. boats have historically been a widely used form of migration or escape for people of limited resources. most boat people travel without formal right of entry to their destination, but on arrival may seek asylum for various reasons” {excerpt from a wikipedia entry}
for me those boat people became archaic figures transporting hope
{paper boats were folded from printed black & white photographs of ruins, boat people drawn on newspaper clippings from the economics section}
