Two black holes between our skins






My generation has born and grown up in the era of global transfers – of goods, money, information, humans. In the last decade the number of young people who leave their country looking for better prospects has largely increased; identities and cultural heritages consolidated until a few years ago are now being called into question.

The shapes of the loved one, the feeling of her skin become more angular, similar to the pixels of a bad Skype connection.
