SYNOPSIS: I have always thought that the territory that generates us often does so in its own image and likeness, or that sometimes by living in it, we end up resembling it. I remember the old farmers of my town, they worked the land, the wrinkles they accumulated transformed them into that same material; they had hands and faces that looked like clods, sowing furrows, calluses and knots with the same contortions as the shoots in the rows. I myself inevitably feel like a hill, what in them is earth and roots in me are muscles and veins. I feel all the curves, the ascents and descents of these pieces of the world that seem like reclining females, all thighs and breasts softly abandoned, never understanding whether with resignation to welcome or complicity in being walked. Hills: because here you rise up on a hill, you move up and down, you curve and go back almost without encountering plateaus, and if you find them they are furrows of space between one hill and another, and you glimpse mountains from above, and from below you glimpse green waves that are there to remind you of the shape of home. Of paper: because often, closing the last page of a book is equivalent to the end of a journey; internal, mental and emotional.
