of inkwork, and they are situated all over his body.

depicted different stages of his life. It seems that has not been possible, and
that has not happened; what is happened is that orange flowers have highlighted
the rosary scene on Messi’s forearm. A clock and a part of the mechanism

means that no matter where you come from, when you least expect it, on eday,
you will bloom. The cocoon of that flower represents the son.”
