This statue is the work of the Spanish sculptor Fernando Garcia-Ramos y Fernandez del Castillo born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The statue represent a walking man - with a hole in his chest, holding a suitcase. The figure is scanning the horizon, in a daring position, as if pretending to jump over the sea, with a suitcase in hand, and many more suitcases in a series as a chain behind him these suitcases behind him surely mean the memories, the sadnesses, the nostalgia, the girlfriend, the mother, the sisters, the family that are left behind by an emigrant who takes a new life, who jumps over the infinite sea, in search of a new life in strange and distant lands.
