Description in Spanish
Un sentido palpable de nostalgia anima la fotografía tomada por garcía de dos sillas rústicas comunes en la República Dominicana posadas en la playa como si fueran una pareja de desafortunados amantes. Esta imagen romántica se convierte en un vehículo para considerar los lazos que unen a los inmigrantes con su país natal.
