THE AIR CURRENTS IN THE SEA

This song talks about the immigration that ventures into the sea with small boats. Although my personal position is closer to those who saves drifting boats on the sea rather than those who reject them, when I went a bit into the details of the immigration problem, I saw that it embraces great complexity.

      Perhaps, that’s why the image contains anonymous puppeteer hands trying to “steer” or “save” the paper boat, although this is not entirely achieved as the storm breaks some strings. The poem speaks of hunger as one of the essential engines that launch people into the sea, even risking their lives. But, of course, it is not the only one. Having a more dignified life or not being discriminated against as a human being are others, too. What the paper boat transports is common throughout the world: it drives us all. Our illusions, innocence and love for a better future floats on a brave sea full of ambiguous interests. Some hearts beat to go to work, but others, less fortunate, beat to be less afraid.
