Description

A children's drawing on white cardboard based on the artist's experience of fleeing El Salvador for Mexico. The drawing is horizontally divided into nine scenes. The scenes, from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, are as follows: flying to Mexico from El Salvador, arriving in Mexico, meeting with people in front of a large building, a figure watching television, a figure dreaming about his family, figures going to the cinema, three figures learning at a school, a cityscape, and a scene at the zoo. On the reverse, a sheet of lined paper measuring 22 cm x 16 cm has been taped in two corners to the back of the cardboard. This sheet describes the drawing in Spanish. The artist's name has been written on the back as well, on the cardboard itself.
