Refugee Fish

This video is dedicated to everyone who had to leave their motherland in order to breathe.

The fish—a souvenir from occupied Berdyansk—arrived from my hometown without a head and with eggs inside. Its small body, hard as stone, had been salted and preserved. It looked sad, but it had no mouth to tell its story. 

So listen to mine. 

Refugee Fish is inspired by the real journey of the round goby from the Sea of Azov in Berdyansk, Ukraine.
