Artist Reply: Yes, Delia, it's abandoned now although as you can see, someone replaced the damaged pieces on the roof after cyclone. Since Emilia hasn't family, the work was made by a neighbor, for sure. Rural people is very friendly and cooperative, always ready to help. I heard this house already belongs to the nuns of asylum that are taking care of her and I suppose that, sooner or later, the Cooperativa de O'Val (the store behind the house) will buy it to enlarge the parking.- Few years ago the road was widened, the engineers modified the initial project to avoid the house could be demolished. Luckily, sometimes the authorities also have heart and feelings.

Artist Reply: Emilia will never see these photos nor know I put the images here. I'm sure she'll be sad by knowing her house is becoming a ruin. You can see someone put new pieces on the roof after the damages caused by the last cyclone. Emilia already doesn't speak nor recognize her friends, neighbors and nuns that take care of her everyday. I miss her because almost everyday I used to see her while walking along the road by helping herself with a stick. Always a smile, always a "buenos días" or "buenas tardes" (good morning/good afternoon).
