NOT LAND, NOT SEA

by Lorena Moreno Vera

As an irremediably terrestrial creature, human beings have endeavored to create prosthetic devices that allow them to reach the sky and dive into the oceans, despite their aerobic constraints. However, these prostheses are far from the sensation and mastery that a bird or a fish can have in those environments. We are left with the equally irremediable condition of observers and speculators, who lie down on the sand and turn their face just to go back to the exercise where sight no longer distinguishes between the land, the sea, and the own body since they all merge into one infinite horizon.
