Tortilla Meets Tortilla Wall
The new border was being referred to as the Tortilla Wall (that lasted only a couple of years). I needed to create a giant tortilla de maize and present it to the border and then offer it to the Mother Ocean as a token of love and mucho respect. On the one hand I get very angry lamenting the fact that our species (humans) are building such atrocities like this wall, and at the same time I realize with amazement, these are insignificant gestures, the world will last forever.
