Leave you in the hands of captain of all wandering ships

Here’s a snapshot of a few select quotes from among many, left by Iranian artists on social media or broadcast on State TV, on the sad tragedy of oil tanker collision, fire and immersion, with artists’ names and works following:

‘We leave you in the hands of the captain of all wandering ships.’ Katayoun Riahi

Another one jotted down a note beneath this image:

‘Not even a footprint left’. Elham Pavehnejad

 ‘No chance to pay tribute to their tombs; O’, sea! Preserve their ash.’ Borzou Arjomand

‘We’re all from God, and to him we shall return.’ Shahab Hosseini (depicting a verse from the Quran).

The fate of sailors aboard an Iranian oil tanker is now sealed after burning for more than a week. The ship sank on Sunday, January 14, with 29 sailors on board presumed dead, while the bodies of three others were found across the sea. Sanchi collided with a freighter near China’s eastern coast last week.
