Behind the work

The Game Left Behind

Some games save us before we understand that we needed to be saved. They teach us to breathe, to rise and to trust our own strength.

Then a day comes when we choose another path. We leave convinced that the match has ended, but the court remains within us, together with the sound of the ball and the question of the life we might have lived.

The work speaks about what we leave behind in order to move forward and about the part of us that sometimes refuses to leave the court.
