In the summer of 2015, refugees and migrants escaping war and terrorism in the middle east started flowing from Greece up the Balkans.

Some addressed this as a river, some as a tide. Overwhelmed by the hundred of thousands of humans walking through their land, many states along the migration route closed their borders, enforcing strict security measures and eventually building physical barriers to stop the flow .

I watched powerless from New York as Hungary closed its borders, followed by Slovenia, Austria, Serbia and Croatia.

In the last days of April 2017, while visiting my homeland of Trieste, I took an hiking trip with friend and photographer Elisa Biagi in the Croatian woods 40 minutes from my Italian home, to see where Europe ends.
