A combination of a poem ("Dead Reckoning") and a visual artwork ("Land") commissioned for the commemoration of the crossing of Atlantic by the Mayflower, carrying the Pilgrims (Saints) and other settlers (Strangers). The event is commemorated in the Netherlands, since the Pilgrims spent the last twelve years before the journey.

To handle this sensitive topic I decided to focus on the journey and the history of these people who were chased for their faith and who suffered hardships equal to the ones faced by modern day refugees. There is a common history for all the poor minorities of this world, and that is being chased by their oppressors.

The works were exhibited from October to December 2020 in a group exhibition in BpluC in Leiden.
