Tayseer Barakat: SHORELESS SEE

"In Shoreless Sea,Tayseer Barakat’s works manifest as an account on refugees desperate journeys to cross the Mediterranean to Europe in search for a normal life.  For Barakat, the Mediterranean was part of his life; he himself is a refugee who lived near the shores of Gaza as a child and by the shores of Alexandria as an undergraduate student. Yet, the Sea become colder since then. It also became merciless, and its appetite grew stronger. Suddenly, it hid its beaches, leaving people on board to wander in desperate search of ways to escape."
