What happens when you leave your homeland, your mother language and common sense, and you enter into an uncertain space where there are no longer references? What we leave behind keeps evolving, developing a life while we are not there. You are still there – but as an absent presence (for your family, your loved ones). How do we deal with this double status? We are moving in a new world, without known references as basic as language (in its broad sense) and we carry our own known world as an invisible shadow.
