Terza Vita, a third life. The book looks at the fruitful opportunities of new interpersonal relationships after a two-year compulsory break. Rome, artistic and monumental, is the setting; the background is lively yet anonymous, made of empty spaces.

Mar Sáez looks at her subjects from a proximity that is as invasive as it is complicit. She wanted her frames to be permeable to the intimacy of those portrayed, catching their vulnerability in an agreed exchange between maker, sitter and future viewer during a moment of historical and social transition. Playing out in an iconic multi-temporal city, it approaches the notion of freedom and the map of affections born in the bosom of a third life: beyond the nostalgia of a stable past, beyond the shock of an uncertain present.
