A visual and audible poem through morse code. Morse code gained an international break through during the 1900th century and the inventor Samuel Morse (who also was an artist) was adamant for slavery. By using morse code as a tool in my work regarding the transatlantic slave trade is a well intended nudge to the inventor. Morse code is strongly connected to the communication over the sea and this is my way to communicate back in history, to all the people that lost their lives but still lives on in the depth.
One step
Two steps
Three, four, five
Slow steps
Walking to the deep
The depth of our faith
We dive to survive
Thats what we have to do
100, 200, 300
We’ve lost the count
The trail, the sail
That became (was) our faith
Crying, dying or lose
We can’t even chose
So we walk the same
Trail as yesterday
