Behind death

When we imagine saying goodbye to our dead, we think about doing it with dignity.
Walking aimlessly, I came across with what we do not see, with what is not shown, what is hidden after death.
The fog floods every corner of the cemetery, uniting the earth with the sky.
It is the facilitator of the spiritual transit in which the body ceases to belong to a specific space and becomes a memory, an essence.
But as time goes by, everything becomes waste, garbage and dignity is left aside.


Detrás de la muerte

Cuando imaginamos despedirnos de nuestros muertos, pensamos en hacerlo con dignidad.
Caminando sin rumbo, me encontré con lo que no vemos, con lo que no se muestra, lo que se oculta tras la muerte.
La niebla inunda cada rincón del cementerio, uniendo la tierra con el cielo.
Es la facilitadora del tránsito espiritual en el que el cuerpo deja de pertenecer a un espacio concreto y se convierte en un recuerdo, en una esencia.
Pero con el paso del tiempo, todo se convierte en desecho, basura y la dignidad se deja de lado.
