CURRENTS presents a cartographic overview of the flow of global migration. Interconnected pathways trace movement within countries, across borders and continents. The scope of geopolitical turmoil is made visible by the massive number of migration routes. Forced global migration is estimated at 68.5 million (2018) and the internally displaced at over 40 million. A person is displaced every second.
Black circles mark countries of departure and countries of arrival. Red threads trace transitional ties from a place of origin in search of new havens. Along the bottom, like a ticker tape, the artist  numbers an individual rather than a broad estimate. In the process, each number took longer to write than for a person to be displaced.
