TITLE: Special Needs
Living in their own world. Voices in their head. Saliva that governs by itself. Legs and arms that have their own itinerary. Special chairs with particular adjustments and anchorages. Happiness and sadness together and alternated. Long silences and unexpected cries. Regards that focus on the infinite. Assistance and attention up to the unbounded. Cables that generate their own connections, many others that go to their outputs. The fear that lives in the anteroom of the absurd and the inexplicable. A mind that creates its own predictable world by force of a repetition of something rather incomprehensible. Living on the frontier of rational resistance, of a self that does not recognize itself.
tied to invisible forces with basic memories and instincts.

I like to travel and encounter the world with its streets and its people, but the part that corresponds to my interest, my vision and philosophy of life. My photos are a look at someone’s world, a journey into their space and their life; an attempt to build a story without affection, as part of a social commitment.
I present different visual stories that intersect in the streets and in their plurality create a certain connection; a new sense. These images can be regard, a hand, a detail or a full scene; a fixed temporality that captures movement. A piece of something that states a vaster space.
