Exhibition: Road
Roads… in where lives, hopes and dreams flow, and sometimes end, the rendezvous awaited, patient, impatient, sometimes lightened, sometimes dark, noisy and crowded, sometimes deserted and silent migration routes… Roads; always magical rivers…

These photos were taken at the western coast of the States throughout California, Oregon, Washington and Nevada states while dreaming about catching the prior rendezvous during a journey from Mexico-Tijuana border gate in the south to Canada-Vancouver border in the north.
