This work was created straight from my memories of summer days spent at our beach house in rural Venezuela.
During the day, when the heat didn't allow us to go to the beach, my mum will sit all of the kids around the dining table, and set us in the mission of building kites.
This activity was not just meant to keep us entertained for some time, but it also allowed us to grow stronger bonds between us, whilst we discussed what colors, materials, and shapes we will add to our kites. Big kids also showed the younger ones how to make kites that could be flown and we would spend, what appeared hours to me, in this warm cacophony of laughs and jokes.
In the afternoon, when the sun was down and the weather cooled down a bit, we will all head to the beach and put our kites to the test.
This is one of the most beautiful memories I have of my childhood.
What are yours?
