Mare Nostrum pays homage to the countless individuals who, throughout human history, embarked on perilous sea journeys in pursuit of a brighter future, only to meet tragic ends in shipwrecks. Representing the delicate balance between life and mortality, Mare Nostrum vividly captures the sea's decisive role in the fate of fathers, mothers, youth, children, and even newborns.

The artwork reflects on the profound impact of the Mediterranean Sea, known as Mare Nostrum in Roman times, on the destinies of those who dared to traverse its waters.
