In the short film “The Water Will Carry Us Home” The imagery has portrayed a slave ship the video shows. The short film shows us how do people that are depicted in the times of the Atlantic slave trade and the idea of a mermaid as a outside force and people had a belief in them to be their savor from their misery they faced even if it may not be real. The Insights of Tesafayes is the human consciousness is the sole focus of the video.

As the story concluded the interpretation is how people are always being remembered for just being imprisoned on a ship. The religious aspect of the video is a wake up call to let people know that there are people who are forgotten by name or anything they have done in their lives but only to be remembered for that one thing and nothing and the ending shows that pieces of the past physical or mental lives through us as a reminderof that particular historical event.
