Immigrant Boats

Only two things interrupt the darkness of the nightscape: the pale
light of the moon and the reflection of the wood of an old boat on
the horizon. The night is as black as the despair of persons who are
forced into exile. The crossing is long and tough, and they know
that many of them will not reach the Ithaca of their dreams.

Camuñas depicts this anxiety and solitude through the smallness of
the splintered boats, almost like the solitary witness of the moon
that observes them. In contrast, the night is dense and textured,
and stretches far beyond the depths of the sea.

There are only two colours on the palette, black and white, the
colours of the nightscape, or the colours of skin. There is a distance
between these two tones that goes beyond the purely
geographical, a distance that can sometimes become an abyss.
