Open See tells the story of refugees, immigrants, and trafficked
individuals journeying from their countries of origin to their new homes in
Europe. This project addresses the struggle of immigrants to leave conditions
where war, disease, and economic devastation prevail. It also addresses their
struggle to adapt to new European cultures and the reciprocal struggle of those
cultures to adapt to them in turn. My approach to creation and distribution

participant. With this work, I hope to shift attitudes, experience, and public
perception.
