This edition began on the island of Lesvos, Greece, where El Seed visited the Moria refugee camp — destroyed by fire in 2020, leaving over 13,000 people without a home. During his visit, he met Achmad, an Afghan refugee, who pointed to the exact spot where his tent once stood. Gesturing to the sea and olive trees behind him, Achmad told the artist: “This was my house. Look at the view!”
That encounter became the starting point for this work. Inspired by Achmad’s words and by the landscape of Lesvos, El Seed created a piece inscribed with a line from the island-born poet Odysseas Elytis:“Always, always, you pass through fire to reach the shining.”This edition encapsulates that message: a powerful testimony to resilience and strength in the face of displacement.
