Piece description from the artist
When I was backpacking around the world in 2011, I had the opportunity to work as a farmer in the town of Necochea, Argentina. After long hours of agricultural labor, I captured a photo of two of my colleagues heading back home at sunset. This photo always evokes a sense of warmth and longing.
