Portraits of immigrant teenagers sheltering in downtown Casablanca. While they are actively looking for resources in northern Morocco, this place serves as a last stop before Tanger, before sailing through Gibraltar and reaching Europe.

These messages were embedded on a polaroid, later turned into postcards, and sent to their relatives with an updated message during their journey to update them about their feelings.

Project made in collaboration with The Minority Globe. Casablanca, 2019.
