Delta Oscar Mike (Delta Oscar Mike)

Dea Botica

The photographic series Delta Oscar Mike documents a two-month voyage aboard a cargo ship along the coasts of the Mediterranean, the Black Sea and West Africa. Questioning her own family heritage, the author explores how individual family identities intertwine with the tradition of seafaring. Throughout the journey, she seeks to redefine her family's maritime tradition, searching for her own place within a predominantly male space. As the only woman among the crew members, she brings a personal perspective on the life of seamen, combining photographs of everyday life aboard the ship with intimate memoirs.
