“WHAT AM I,” then? Since childhood, I’ve been involved with flows of milk, smells, stories, sounds, emotions, nursery rhymes, substances, gestures, ideas, impressions, gazes, songs, and foods. What am I? Tied in every way to places, sufferings, ancestors, friends, love, events, languages, memories, to all things that are not me. Everything that attaches me to the world, all the links that constitute me, all forces that compose me don’t form a singular identity, a thing displayed on cue, but a singular, shared, living existence.”
