The desire to fly to another place awakens in the artist.
He continues to show his work to the absent public, because he continues to believe that they are waiting for him with the applause prepared.
While he does the work imposed by that company that is dedicated to imposing, the artist dreams of ceasing to be another look behind the glass wall.
As he leaves the building, he looks up at the noise in the sky. And at that moment, he receives the call.
The plane lands in that cold and familiar place. The inside of the cabin is like the outside. There is a fire in the fireplace but it does not heat. Above it, a picture of a mountain. The artist closes his eyes, and dreams again.
He opens his eyes and a woman looks directly at him. The artist is surprised, but she is not. The woman acts theatrically as if she is posing for someone. Is she posing for him? The artist greets her. She doesn 't answer. She continues to pose as if she is in front of a mirror and, indeed, she is in front of a mirror.
And he doesn't see himself in that mirror.
And he faints.
When he wakes up, the mountain painting receives him again.
When he prepares to dream for the third time, the mountain invites him to stop.
The artist surrenders to what is and she gently absorbs him again.
Retired on the mountain where he once stopped dreaming, the invisible artist continues to visit other people's lives that he later paints in his works.
And your life, has already been painted.
