Sometimes

Sometimes, we can still feel our departed loved ones nearby, how we wish they had never left... Where do the deep longings in a girl's heart go?

Argentine artist delicately portrays the loss and separation experienced by both children and adults, comforting sorrowful souls with love and poetry.

The girl told her mother, "Today I found a secret passage in the backyard again. It's not a tree hollow, and I can't even find a door to go in." It turned out to be the bedsheets her mother occasionally hung on the clothesline.

The girl loved to wrap herself in the bedsheets. In that small, private space, she seemed to see her deceased father. They would swim together, hug each other, and stay away from the dangerous things in the world.

However, when her mother took down the bedsheets, the secret passage was gone. How she wished she could stay inside forever...

The girl's innocent words contained endless longing and sorrow, her remembrance seemingly leading nowhere.

However, after patiently listening, her mother gave her a big hug, took her hand, and led her to the backyard. She hung up two bedsheets, accompanying her to reminisce together, to enter memories, and to search for the departed loved one.

Simple illustrations and text intertwine to create endless imagination, delicately and lightly addressing the heavy topic of life and death. The text uses a child's simple language to describe the sighs and sincere desires when facing the death of a loved one, seemingly lightly portraying the sorrowful emotions in our hearts, gently revealing the abstract topic of life and death.

The imagery is simple and rich in poetry, silently presenting the strong bond between the girl, mother, and father. The change of colors subtly conveys the parents' endless love for the girl. The interpretation of the images and text is beyond words, leaving a lasting aftertaste after reading.
