Ai Weiwei's "Drifting" is a powerful art installation that raises awareness about the global refugee crisis. The installation features a fleet of refugee boats made from inflatable rafts, life jackets, and LED lights that drift along various rivers and waterways around the world. The boats carry personal belongings and messages from refugees, symbolizing their perilous journeys and the urgent need for action. Through "Drifting," Ai Weiwei aims to capture the attention of the public and policymakers, urging them to address the humanitarian crisis faced by millions of displaced people seeking safety and a better life. The installation encourages empathy, understanding, and collective responsibility towards the plight of refugees, reminding us that the refugee crisis is not merely a statistic but a human tragedy that demands our attention and action.
