Ten years of searching for a personal practice gathered into a first book of portraits of family and surroundings. A text written by the artist's mother, translated from French into Spanish and English, traces a journey carrying both French and Chilean family heritage between marks of exile, resistance, past ideals, and love stories across the years. Once too bashful to show the images of the people he loved, hiding and masking them with over-printing and wax, the artist now presents them fully lit, opening a space of intimacy first shared with his own models before being released to the world.
