The End Is Not The End
I went to Tierra Del Fuego because I felt lost, and knowingly walked alongside many others who wanted to feel what it felt like at the end of the world. I arrived to find a town full of English words on signs catering to the many tourists that travel to Tierra Del Fuego to see what it’s like at the end.
A little further down the street hidden behind blank white walls with no words or statements, I found factories producing the televisions and cell phones that were supposedly adrift here. I took the boat to the lighthouse at the end, because this is where I was told the broken inside me would feel whole again. The tourist boat did not allow any stops, thus my feet didn’t feel the soil, and I found myself trapped and not at the end.
