Welcome, goodbye!

"Welcome, goodbye!" is the illustration I made for the Tapirulan Illustrators Contest.
The theme of the edition of 2017 is "Hello" that I have interpreted in its more vague meaning.

The Italian people use "hello" when they meet someone for the first time and those after, and also when they're saying goodbye.
But "hello" is the word we often tell us when we're greeting a place that maybe we won't see more, or that we're again seeing after long time.

This is the reason why my illustration has not an end, because the start can coincide with the end and conversely.
