“The ocean splits us into two continents far away, and the river/water connects us again while being present in front of Lanesboro Stone Dam. The memory from the past is flashed back and blurred as time passes, unknowingly. But the similarities within the love and care from the family are there when a new life comes their way. Even though the memories are blurred, the invisible solid support of the family continues to connect without separation, borders, and limitations.”
