"Welcome to Europe?" (2019)

“Welcome to Europe?”. A collage I've recently finished. The cut-out headlines translate to: “Last rescue before the immersion”, addressing the countless deaths of refugees on the Mediterranean sea in the last couple of years and the impact it can have on Europe's identity.

(I just noticed that every introduction to a vegan recipe blogpost on the internet sounds like that. Huh. Let's continue) You'll need: 200-300g of vegan chocolate  70g of cornflak
