A girl on her own is listening to reggaeton, drinking rum and staring out to sea. The Malecon is a long and lonely highway that leads to a dusty deserted city. The sheer length of it is beautiful. The beauty is visceral. It stems from its length, its width, its height. Gazing at it and seeing that the wall is never-ending, that it stretches far beyond our understanding, is a revelation. Usually, this wouldn’t be beautiful, but right now, it is.
