A last fotoescultura remains

The one of you and your mother; Or, more precisely, of a rabbit and a bird.

It is no item in an exhibition, merely a family portrait. Nothing that replicates; nothing that recurs.

Your faces are concealed behind masks. The background is cropped,

A portrait without persons. Without a setting.

All the more shall this become a memory

of the time you and your mother stood on a countryside road

amid the agave fields and with the mountain range of Oaxaca in the background

on one of countless journeys among sulky Madonnas and mischievous baby Jesuses.
