“Mare Nostrum” is a bilingual book in English and Arabic that sheds light on the Mediterranean Immigration Crisis. Containing images of boats and quotes from migrants who survived the perilous journey across the Mediterranean. The boats’ images are derived from drawings of boats on pottery from predynastic Egypt, reflecting the journey’s ceremonial significance in ancient times.
