ORIGIN & LORE
The image titled 'Kiyiya Vuran Insanlik' (Humanity Washed Ashore) features Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian boy who drowned in 2015 while his family attempted to reach Greece. Photographed by Nilüfer Demir, the image quickly went viral across social media, becoming a haunting symbol of the European migrant crisis and the devastating human cost of the Syrian Civil War. While not a meme in the traditional humorous sense, the image has been widely utilized in political cartoons, protest art, and digital activism to spark global discourse on immigration policy and humanitarian aid. It remains one of the most powerful and heartbreaking photographs of the 21st century, representing a turning point in public perception of the refugee struggle.
