My Collage for LMAC #162: The White Cliffs of Dover, a Symbol of Hope for Immigrants
When I first saw @shaka's template photo in this week's [LMAC collage contest (#162)](https://peakd.com/hive-174695/@lmac/lets-make-a-collage-a-contest-for-all-creatives-on-hive-round-162-133-hive-in-the-prize-pool) I thought of using the center of the picture as a stage.  Then I thought again and decided I wanted to break up that model and start fresh. I focused on the cliffs. For me, when thinking of legendary cliffs, Dover comes to mind. 

First I made a still image. Then I decided that a little animation might be engaging, so I made a GIF.  Always with a GIF, however, clarity of image is lost. It's a trade-off.  

The theme of my collage is taken from life.   Dover is one of many destinations for those who try to immigrate using unofficial methods.  In the case of Dover, the immigrants use boats to cross the English Channel.

<center>**Calais to Dover Crossing and Immigration**</center>

The first time I heard the expression 'boat people' was at the end of the Vietnam War. People were desperate to flee that war-torn country.  They fashioned small, unreliable craft to flee to another country. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, [the end of the Vietnam War was the first time](https://www.britannica.com/topic/boat-people-refugees) the term 'Boat People' came into use. Since then,  millions of emigrants have crossed various bodies of water in search of a better place to live, and they have used unreliable, unsafe water craft to do this. 

In the U.S., it might be said that many of us have ancestors who were, in a way, 'boat people'. For a good part of history, (before 1855) [anyone could come](https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/our-history/overview-of-ins-history/early-american-immigration-policies) to the U.S. shores for any reason in any way and just walk in.  My distant paternal forebears did that in the mid 1600s. They fled religious persecution.  My great-great-great paternal grandfather did that in 1837.  He fled dire economic circumstances. In 1906, my maternal grandparents arrived in steerage on a large ocean liner and were 'processed' at Ellis Island.  They were seeking a better future. 

Nowadays, people on boats seeking to immigrate may be found literally all over the world. They cross the [Caribbean](https://www.iom.int/news/missing-migrants-caribbean-reached-record-high-2022).  They cross the [Mediterranean](https://www.msf.org/mediterranean-migration-depth). They cross the [Indian Ocean](https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news/Sri-Lanka-migration-route-Mayotte-Reunion-Australia-asylum). And they cross the English Channel, with the object of landing in Dover.  It happens that the narrowest part of the English Channel is the Dover Strait, between Calais and Dover.

Before the opening of the Chunnel [in 1994,](https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/chunnel-makes-breakthrough) if one didn't fly, a boat was the only way to cross from Calais to Dover.  That's how I crossed in 1972.*

 Recently, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak [announced](https://www.irishtimes.com/world/uk/2023/02/07/small-boats-to-dover-are-big-political-issue-for-britain/) a "Stop the Boats" initiative at Dover to halt the flow of small craft carrying immigrants.   Officially, those who arrive in this way at Dover are asylum seekers.  This status [complicates the issue](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/mar/07/a-revenge-plan-refugees-and-dover-residents-react-to-migration-bill) not only for the government but also for some residents of Dover.

There is concern that the sheer number of people arriving is not manageable.  At the same time,  there is empathy for people who are so desperate that they place their families at risk in choppy waters of the English Channel.

The Channel is [rough.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF1kr7AFK1Y)  Here is a video (by the [Telegraph](https://www.youtube.com/@telegraph)) in which the narrator explains how rough and perilous the Channel may be for the small craft the asylum seekers travel in. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itStdRjmERQ

*The Irish Times* [reports](https://www.irishtimes.com/world/uk/2023/02/07/small-boats-to-dover-are-big-political-issue-for-britain/) that in 2022, 45,700 asylum seekers crossed the English Channel in small craft.  (That number must be approximate.) 

**Where Do They Come From?**
According to [BBC News,](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-53699511) asylum seekers (not just Dover) in the UK come overwhelmingly from Albania--67%. Other countries (listed in order of asylum totals): Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Bangladesh, Eritrea, India, Sudan, Pakistan. (This list does  not include refugees from Ukraine).  

**Who Are They?**
Amnesty International [explains](https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/refugees-asylum-seekers-and-migrants/) the different labels that are used to describe people who leave their countries/homes and seek a better/safer life elsewhere.  

>The terms “refugee”, “asylum seeker” and “migrant” are used to describe people who are on the move, who have left their countries and have crossed borders

Dover happens to be an entry way for those who want a better place to live.  I don't live in Dover.  I live in the U.S. We have our own border issues, with people trying to enter the country.

For me, in my collage, the white cliffs are a beacon, a symbol to travelers who seek a better place.  Dover represents hope. But what do those travelers represent to the people of Dover?

As is always the case, the [LMAC Image Library, LIL,](https://www.lmac.gallery/lil-gallery) was a rich source for my collage.  I borrowed from four LMAC veterans this week, and I borrowed from one *Unsplash* photographer.

I manipulated a few extractions from larger images: 
- Stationary birds: I wanted to have varied colors (even if no one could see the different colors 😄)
![yaziris birds process3.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/agmoore/23vsbDWSDkh62a15qvkn2r5LfJbuKUJSTcws8mykChDc8wNp4ZvAMbHJmzDXAXZX4Yyeh.png)
- Person in the lighthouse: I wanted to put him there, although, once again, no one might see him.
- People on the beach: these came from @shaka's original template, as did the sand, the water, the cliffs, the ground on the cliff, and the sky.

I painted in the grass on top of the cliff and the shadows/indentations in the cliff face.  Different brushes on Gimp were helpful here: grass, pencil scratch, hatch pen, and smudge.

The animation layers were made using Paint 3D and Gimp.

Making collages is a creative exercise and a learning experience (I don't compete in the contest). This week I delved into the sobering, complex issue of immigration. I have worked in my own community with immigrants, as a volunteer.  And yet, as is true every week when I write a blog for my collage, I know a little more about the subject now than I did before.

Please check out this week's winning collages at the [LMAC community](https://peakd.com/hive-174695/@lmac/lets-make-a-collage-round-162-winner-announcement#@justclickindiva/re-lmac-rrkeos) site. Tomorrow we begin another round (#163).  Come back then, discover the new template, and try your hand at making something unique.

You can see that [LIL, the LMAC Image Library,](https://www.lmac.gallery/) is an important part of my collage creating process. Everyone on Hive can contribute to the library and borrow from the library.  Learn about the procedure [here.](https://peakd.com/hive-174695/@shaka/the-lmac-summer-special-lets-build-the-lmac-image-library)

I wish all my readers peace and health.

Whenever I see these collages I find it interesting the creativity that users use to bring them to life, the ones you do are an example of this, as they are excellent. Also, there is that part of the story you tell about so many people who have thrown themselves into the sea in search of a new future, although unfortunately many die on the way or their conditions worsen, as it is not something easy. On the other hand, I did not know that part of the history of your family and what you share with us about some of the problems that arose during the Vietnam War, in Hive you always learn new things, A hug @agmoore.

Thank you for this lovely comment, my friend @abneagro.  I find the art inspires me to learn and the learning inspires my to create an interesting collage. It works together.  Most of my life I have done a lot of reading and writing, but never art.  This is new for me.

I appreciate that you take the time to read and comment.  Your positive feedback is very encouraging.

A hug to you also.  Have a most wonderful weekend.

It really is a very complicated issue, the future of those people who dare to do something like this is so uncertain.

Food for thought, I always learn new things when I read you, thanks for using my LIL image @agmoore :)

Dear @edgarafernandezp,

I don't know how I did not respond to this.  I read it when you wrote it and thought I had responded.  Here I see it is without comment. So sorry. 

Thank you very much for your sensitive observation. I'm grateful for your feedback and grateful that you feel reading my blog is worthwhile. I try :)

Have a great weekend.

Hi agmoree, it's a beautiful cliff but look how well the gabiots fly in your animation : ) 

It must be quite an adventure, escape to the horizon in search of the future, surf its waves and caress them , so that it is calm and takes care of its trajectory. It takes a lot of courage to face the blue desert. Sometimes looking at it I see how the sky merges with the water giving the same tone, without distinguishing where one begins and the other ends, but what is really extraordinary is when you can see the much appreciated land at the end of the long journey.

Thank you, @innfauno12 🐤

I worried I wouldn't be able to get the cliff right, but it worked out OK.  I'm glad you like it. The bird contributed by @edgarafernandezp was a find. Quite beautiful.

Yes, as for the voyagers.  Facing the "blue desert".  It seems to be addictive for some people who love the sea.  Must be daunting, and exciting, not to know where that voyage will take you.

I appreciate your visit and your kind assessment of my collage.  Take care.

Thank you for reading and for the kind comment, @lauraptis.  I edited this post several times and tried to be very careful with terminology and tone.  It is such a sensitive, difficult subject

Looking at your lovely collage, I want to sing, “There will be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover.” 

Canada also has a problem with handling so many immigrants coming through from the States. It’s an ongoing problem and sad to see the lines of people with just the clothes on their backs and small children. I saw on the news where Quebec can’t hand all the asylum seekers. . The Quebec government has repeatedly called for the federal government to close the Roxham Road crossing, saying it doesn't have the capacity to accept more migrants. 

Thanks A. G. for using my lil image. The lighthouse looks great on the cliff and your animation  adds to the plight of the boat people.

Hello my friend, @redheadpei.

You have the best houses (and animals) in LIL.  What an eye you have.  

Thanks for your kind comment.  I am aware of the immigration issues in Canada, though I didn't know these had gotten so serious.   What do we do? All the desperate people in the world.  It's as though the rest of us are in lifeboats and the others are struggling to get onboard.  We must survive,and yet they are struggling for survival.  Remember the saying, "No room at the Inn"?  I think of that sometimes when I see immigrants turned away at the border with nothing but the clothes on their backs. 

On a happier note: Spring is year in just a bit.  Looking forward to seeing pictures of your furry friends on your backyard highway :)
