Brief Explanation

Just as the Syrian refugee topic was fading away in the media, and life was going back to normal in the Mediterranean region, a floating cemetery appeared on the surface of the sea. "The Sea Cemetery” consisted of tombstones with names and dates of birth and death of those who lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea, while trying to reach Europe. The tombstones contained real information from real people, and appeared in the exact location where people lost their lives.
