Asylum Seekers In Autralia

This imaginative landscapes is set on the seas near the border of Australia. It shows many asylum seekers squished on the minute and substandard boat, heading towards Australia for a better life. Asylum seekers are individuals who have fled their country of origin, due to a well-founded fear of persecution, such as torture, imprisonment or death and have applied for protection in another country (in this case, Australia) This is because their government is unable or unwilling to protect them. In the landscape, the point of focus are the asylum seekers, due to the fact that they are centred in the landscape and the fact that the asylum seekers are wearing clothing that are different colours to another. Without the asylum seekers and the boat they are travelling on, the landscape would simply just be of the azure blue sea, covered in the natural up and down movement of the sea. Although the asylum seekers are wearing different coloured clothes, they still faintly blend in with the sea, seeing that the boat is another shade of blue and the colours of their clothes are dull-coloured, nearly the same colour tone as the sea.  This shows how helpless and vulnerable they are. This imaginative landscape can have countless interpretations, varying from person to person. Some might think the asylum seekers have a bright future ahead of them because of how sturdy and robust they look, hinting determination of a better life ahead of them, while others might believe that they are going to lose their lives before reaching their destination because of the miniture-sized boat, considering that most small boats can't reach large distances.
