Luis Grane/ Collaborator: Tomas Basile (Los Angeles)   Pushing the Essentials

 

 

Essential traveling imply carrying our essential belongings. People and possessions amalgamate in one constant moving realm made of small components. Travelers in an airport, supermarket shoppers and homeless become indistinguishable in this endless cycle where we don't know who is going to be the next to vanish because of the horrific pandemic.
