Refugees and migrants arriving on Lesbos Island, Greece (2015)

"The thin line between reality and performance, documentary and art, fascinates Alex Majoli. In 2015, he traveled to Lesbos, a small island off the coast of Greece, to document the crisis of refugees fleeing conflicts in North Africa and the Mediterranean. Here, artificial lighting creates a scene that resembles a film still, but the emotions that animate the faces of his subjects are genuine. This series was intended to underscore Europe's inability to isolate itself from the suffering taking place across the Mediterranean."

Fantastic drawing/painting giving such strong spotlight on the endless suffering of all
caught in cruelty in our world today.

Such a moving piece of art. One might imagine the subject being one from the past rather than what is acting out globally in present day. Thank you Maverick 🌸

It’s crazy, madness. The world is over crowded, and despots and extremists are hoarding & cleansing it for their own avails.
