El deseo ardiente de la Señora Victoria

In the heart of Barranco, a vibrant neighborhood in Lima known for its exceptional street art, I discovered this mural on the old walls of Las Escaleras de la Oroya. The mural, a poignant creation by MDH Collective, overlooking the sweeping views of Malecon Castilla, depicts an elderly Peruvian woman from the Andes - someone told me her name is Victoria. Through her tear-filled eyes, she sees the sea for the first time. There is a profound depth in her gaze, a longing that seems to reach beyond the horizon - can you sense the stories in her eyes, the dreams she sees in the vast, endless sea?
