"Paths of Migrants" explores the varied experiences faced by individuals on the move. The project presents a series of thematic panels that illustrate key aspects of migration. It addresses the complex realities and emotions surrounding this journey against a backdrop of contemporary social issues. The design concept focuses on storytelling, allowing audiences to witness and connect with the personal narratives of migrants.

The Beginning
-
The first panel, "The Beginning," examines the factors that lead people to leave their homes. This section highlights personal motivations, such as economic struggles, safety concerns, and the pursuit of better opportunities. Visual elements create a narrative that helps viewers understand why individuals embark on such significant journeys, emphasizing the diverse backgrounds and circumstances that shape these decisions.

The Path
-
Moving into "The Path," this panel reveals the challenges and experiences encountered during migration. It illustrates the various routes that migrants take and the obstacles they face along the way. Through visual representations, the design captures themes of resilience and adaptability, underscoring that each journey involves not just relocation but also significant emotional and physical hurdles.

The Uncertainty
-
The final panel, "The Uncertainty," focuses on the psychological aspects of migration. It sheds light on the worries and fears that accompany the transition into new environments. This section reveals the dual emotions of hope and anxiety that many migrants face. By highlighting these feelings, the design allows viewers to appreciate the depth of the migrant experience, inviting them to connect on a human level.


The panels come together in a thoughtful arrangement that maintains a clear flow of themes. Each section acts as a chapter in a larger story, with interconnected visual elements that enhance understanding. These transitions invite contemplation while emphasizing the continuous nature of migration. The project encapsulates the complexity of the migrant experience, illustrating both individual stories and shared journeys.
