"Beneath the shiny surface of our phones and tablets, behind the frictionless apps that allow us to order all kinds of products and services, someone, somewhere, is doing the work.” The protagonist works as a delivery rider transporting delicious takeaways around the city.

“The transformative potential in pain and hardship elevates paintings, or any kind of artwork, song and dance, poetry and music into something incredibly moving when we can witness vulnerability as a form of defiance. There is something reassuring in the acceptance of the shadow side. How exciting it is to see a person emerging from the doldrums, mysteriously enriched.

— Ingrid Lyons, El Duende
