Tin Boats. Food Tin cans rusted.

'Tin Boats', consists of 50 tin can boats. This piece was made as an attempt to comprehend the global crisis, of migration. It is an engrained trait where I come from not to throw anything away. Almost anything can be repurposed. I've used rusty tins made from simple baked bean/ tomato tins to show the fragile nature of the make shift vessels often used in migrant journeys.
