After reaching the sea, and entering the coastal dimension of the world, I understood that all landscape is a ghost landscape. There are marks on the floor, albeit fragile and temporary, marks that disappear on the next rise of the tide. How many dead inhabit the world of the living, streets and roads, the horizon where a bird's wings now flutter? I walked the most diverse landscapes in search of what they lacked, carrying the question: what remains? Today I find algae and corals, but I'm still with the ghosts. Searching is moving and make the whole world move. The journey continues, making up remains, excavated remains and reassembled, permanently reorienting their own narrative.
