LIKE A ROCK
The weight as a metaphor.
The immigration as a pathway.
The weight as a metaphor of the migrants.
Weaving links between mythology,history and actuality.
A suitcase and an old trunk covered with maps.
Like a modern Sisyth.Pulling, sweating this weight.
Like a rock.
Like a load.
Tracing a road.
Letting a print.
Walking we create.
