Prayer
• Mary Palmer

In 2015, over 600,000 refugees arrived from war torn countries like Syria, to the island of Lesvos, Greece. My husband went to Lesvos to provide technical support in the refugee camps. As a diver and ex-lifeguard, he also spent time helping to land boats. He was horrified to find that many lifejackets didn`t have flotation material, and the boats often had inadequate fuel. He came home heartbroken for the thousands he had seen fleeing for their lives. He brought back lifejacket shells and pieces of raft material, asking me to make something. Prayer is made from lifejacket material to acknowledge the worldwide refugee crisis.
