This trip is a game of questions to my grandparents, my wish to keep them with me, my personal pirouette to dodge the absence, my tribute to four important people in my life, my wish to preserve their memory.

“I don’t want to close the lids of the jars, I want to open them and look together at the interior of this trip which starts like my grandparents’, in a mountain of salt, and I do not know where it ends.”
