Scottish ferry trip reimagined by M. Cristina Marras.
The narrative explores the complex emotions of returning to your homeland, possibly for the last time to see an ageing parent. The salty air, the rocking of the ferry – all become sensory details that evoke the physical experience of the journey.
Yet beneath the surface lies a deeper turmoil, a haunting question about goodbyes and the fragility of life.
Part of the Migration Sounds project, the world’s first collection of the sounds of human migration.
