‘Driftwood’ brings into question politicising and romanticising human migration based on differentiating it from any other movements in nature. Historically, the wood drifting to the shores of Iceland has been a precious
material in the mostly woodless island, hence returning driftwood to the sea is a quiet yet rebellious act against the economic and political perspective on migrations.
