This piece is a take on the migration of people represented with dogs. But their attitude is that it is a small shift. They are just walking through the mountains. But that walk has taken them to new lands, and away from their country. I'm thinking about the politics of geography and the history of items being exported. My father was an immigrant from Japan and I often try to imagine how anyone could so drastically alter his or her lives willingly. In this case the dogs are happily unaware of the journey they are undertaking.
