A serious old man is carrying a baby and looking to the viewer. The baby is watching something far and the man keeps a rooster that is placed on his body.

The composition refers to the iconography of Saint Christopher, a man of who helped travelers to cross a dangerous river. The story tells that one day a child asked Christopher to help him to cross, but the infant seemed to grow heavier and heavier with every step. When they arrived on the opposite shore, the child identified himself as Christ, telling the holy man that he had just carried the weight of the world. Despite he is usually depicted as a giant in my draw the man is simply a thin poor one. Big wrinkled hands tell about difficulties he encountered in his life. The rooster (looks like quite scared) represents vigilance but it is also considered a time-keeper and it is a sign of time passing in our lives.

The design talks about migrants, crossing borders, escaping. Very actual issue.

It tells about feelings in roots of generations too. What your grandparents told you about their life? Your family, any kind of family I mean. Stories that are like ropes that link you to some memories that make you now exactly as you are.

Also, when I draw animals and human together (very often) I wish to highlight how is important to recover our relation with nature cause we are loosing the proportion if things: we create too much food, too much trash, to much bad feelings
