The present work project developed in a dynamic process of graphics research and experimentation with the main objective to create an object that reflects the set of elements constructed during the period of our investigation. We addressed the walk as an inducer agent that could lead to the development of a working posture. The discovery of artistic references inspired by a similar relationship with our own took place step by step, and took into account extended examples in time and space, ranging from the ancestry of the ages before the written records, as the case of the legacy in Nazca, to the latest walks of Francis Alÿs or Hamish Fulton. The relationship between walking, collection data and its transformation into new language resulted from a natural tension arising from the need to find new questions and answers to the development of a personal language in the field of drawing. In this sense we explored the concepts of registration, printing and memory, looking for understandings on aspects related to traditional and psychographic mappings, and even in our own understanding of dynamism that not only the act of walking, but also that the physical territory that we ran showed us in a variety of morphological settings. Walking and exploring graphics processes, are for us core actions in this reflection, that becoming loose gestures but resolute and purposeful allowed us to understand the spatial depth of the path, inhabiting it and meditate it, in its multiple natural and formal dimensions
