Flags are a symbol of unity and belonging, generally used or related to freedom or as a guiding symbol of a movement or nation. A flag is par excellence the unifying banner of people, in this case the isothermal blankets have united migrants, regardless of their origin or destination, they have become stateless bodies, politically undesirable, and in some cases economically convenient.

A victorious athlete takes his flag and wraps himself in it as a gesture of victory pride, a migrant wrapped in a blanket has faced his destiny overcoming his origin, brandishing it as a symbol of social and material belonging.
