Merci, gracias, arigato, thank you.
After each stage, there are multiple ways to approach the feelings that overcome us when saying goodbye to the things we know, as the sense of embarking on a new, unknown stage becomes a reality. The writer and artist Alan Dávila invited Homero to define in a word or phrase the feeling that explains leaving a city or country where he has lived for a time.
Merci is the result of those feelings, which, like particles in a glass of water, come to settle at the bottom of the glass.
Many things could be said, but in the end, gratitude is the best way to close a chapter of life well.
There may be people we miss, people we couldn't say goodbye to, or people we wish we had hugged more or spent more time with. The opportunity to apologize or to say I love you one last time.
Ultimately, merci walks in different directions, always in acceptance, inwards, outwards, towards others, towards oneself.
The diagram was printed, and later, Alan Davila intervened in the graphic for a final composition. Subsequently, it was placed in several locations in the cities of Monterrey and San Pedro G.G. It is currently part of a series of merchandise by both artists.
