The “alforjitas” (little saddlebags) carry threads, books, tools, loved ones, confusion and longing between two countries. Things that are lost and found. They speak in two languages and mix them. Its multicolored fringes sprouted from one land and flutter in the wind from another. They fly, happy, in a movement of love that wanders the roads of the continent.
