Disappearance

Abstract

Disappearance: when something that was visible and tangible ceases to be within the reach of the human eye's perception. To disappear, implies that a person is placed in the realm of non-existence, of emptiness, of countless doubts, which often remain unanswered.

Disappear, disappearance, disappeared; words that are part of everyday language, both in colloquial conversations, newscasts, or in social networks. There are countless missing persons, and even worse, collectives formed by relatives, which are growing every day.

The many families who do not have a missing person, often decide not to get involved in the issue, simply passing by the many posters with images of missing people. There is a great deal of apathy, and, often, a participation in re-victimization. Perhaps it is part of the collective fear, or perhaps it is the effect of not wanting to see what we know exists inside.
