The work, framed within literature of migration, fictionalizes the migratory experience of a Syrian family in the context of the war afflicting the country. Sea Prayer (2018) makes use of the symbiosis between verbal language, visual language and design elements typical of picturebooks, the genre in which it is inscribed, to narrate and raise awareness about the vulnerability of migrants, displaced and exiled people, and the role played by memory in such displacement processes. As a starting hypothesis, we suggest that Sea Prayer (2018), as an artistic-aesthetic and cultural artifact, becomes a narrative of memory (Ricoeur, 2002) that aims to preserve collective memory and urges action to protect migrants in contexts of growing vulnerability. El siguiente trabajo apunta a explorar la configuración de la memoria en Sea Prayer (2018), escrito por el autor afgano-estadounidense Khaled Hosseini. La obra, enmarcada en la literatura de migraciones, ficcionaliza el desplazamiento forzado de una familia siria en el contexto de la guerra que aqueja al país. Sea Prayer (2018) se vale de la simbiosis entre el lenguaje verbal, el lenguaje visual y los elementos de diseño propios del libro álbum, género en el que se inscribe, para narrar y sensibilizar acerca de la vulnerabilidad de los migrantes, desplazados y exiliados, y el rol que juega la memoria en dichos procesos de desplazamiento. Como hipótesis de partida, sugerimos que Sea Prayer (2018), como artefacto artístico-estético y cultural, se constituye en una narrativa de la memoria (Ricoeur, 2002) que apunta a preservar el recuerdo colectivo e insta a la acción para proteger a los sujetos desplazados en contextos de vulnerabilidad.
