"Tu Problema es mi problema" is the official title of the Movimiento Social de Aysen, which is a group of students, union organizers, and pescadores that have come together to defend Aysen's right to live affordably. They are demanding a drop in the cost of fuel, fire wood, food, and a public university of quality within the region. This art piece supports this cause. This relates to what we have talked about in class... harking all the way back to the first day when Tony asked "what is pride?" pride is standing up for what you believe in, and know is right, even if you are standing alone. This is what Aysen has had the courage to do. This is what inspires me, and draws me back to this land where I have my most distant roots. I love Aysen like my mother. She raised me for just a half a year, but I will never loose what she taught me, and ingrained in my soul.
