‘By earth, sea and air we came’, is a video work intertwining the lives of flowers, parakeets and sailors around a river that flows through the periphery of a city, drawing on history, biology, geography and mythology to think through experiences of migration and the relationship the artist, as a migrant and a person of colour, has to ideas of the land and of place.”

Filmed along the River Lea in east London, the work is narrated by Faramawy, with performance and choreography in collaboration with Joseph Funnel and Omar Jordan Phillips.

Supported and first exhibited by Eastside Projects, Birmingham, as part of the exhibition LOOP, co-curated by Harold Offeh, alongside artists Phoebe Collings James, Will Walid Fredo, Keiken and Samra Mayanja.
