Kwassa Kwassa, which translates to ‘unstable boat’, portrays the construction of a boat on the island of Anjouan, in the Comoro archipelago between Madagascar and Mozambique. Although usually used for fishing, the boat will also find use transporting migrants to the neighboring island of Mayotte, a French overseas territory and the outermost region of the EU. Over 10,000 people have died attempted the 70 km crossing. Carrying more than symbolic meaning as a container for dreams of reaching a better life on the other shore, the boat is also a labour-intensive work of craftsmanship and the physical vessel that carries humans on a perilous voyage.
