This artwork explores the potential conflicts both of and with immigrants, and the reasons why people leave one place, taking their homes (identities) - which can be both the burden and the necessity for leaving home. The bloody sea is pretty self -explanatory, given the difficult situation of asylum seekers. Note also the steps in the sand which do not end in the snail-like shadows. The hands with bombs represent war and the threatening government of the former "home". The closed hands of the new "home" (also represented as a "city upon a hill") are ambiguous in a way, for they can push the shadows back into the bloody sea or open up and welcome those who seek a new home.
