Helen Dorn - Mordsee

In the bustling port of Hamburg, the Seamen's Mission Duckdalben serves as a temporary home for sailors from all over the world. Here, a young Ethiopian man engages in an animated video call with his mother, bridging the distance that separates them. Shortly thereafter, a colossal container ship departs the Hamburg harbor under the careful guidance of an Elbe pilot, embarking on a journey across the seas. This fleeting moment reflects the diverse and transient nature of life at the harbor, where personal connections span continents and maritime adventures commence.
