Tsunami I and II

Raquel, Jessica and Kamila (from left to right) write about their past. The photograph shows the expression of these girls as they face their memories, all that they have had to endure. These were moments of dense, sad silence, but they also served to empty their pain onto these sheets of paper entitled "Past". Kamila's blank stare as she looked back over her life is evidence of her pain. Kamila was a five-year-old boy when he was raped and only a teenager when he started prostituting himself by adopting a new female identity. He has had to fight against the prejudices of a society that does not accept gays, let alone transvestites. Poverty also led her to crime and violence. Under her clothes are hidden three bullet wounds, which almost ended her life. Today, he prostitutes herself in the same place where Jessica does.

But the main activity of the day is the construction of long ladders made of tree branches assembled with rubber strips from car tyres. When night falls, it's time to try their hand at jumping over the barrier, as they call it. Coordinated groups of ten individuals approach in the darkness, waiting for the right moment. Some say a prayer for protection beforehand. The attempt barely lasts a couple of minutes, enough time for the Guardia Civil patrolling on the other side to thwart the jump. They will try again that same night along the 11 kilometres of the border perimeter. If they don't make it, they return to the camp and dream of making it the next day. the next day. Eventually, some of them manage to get through (2%) and reach the migrants' refuge in Melilla. There they will certify their victory over the ordeal of Mount Gurugú. Now all they have to do is survive in Europe, but they will worry about that later.
