Dick Verdult wrote the following about his "Dibujos Pasajeros" in a letter to Mexican artist Carlos Amorales:
...That series, the "Pasajero" drawings (Dibujos Pasajeros), is the one I started on the plane, to fight against the videos they show. I made these drawings that, on the one hand, unconsciously reflect what I'm seeing, appreciating, or suffering and, on the other, include the thinking that next to me there is a passenger, 30 cm away, trying not to see what I'm drawing! That side is the treasure! (I can already see your smile)...
