This image reflection is the result of a long goodbye and the confrontation with the impossibility of controlling the now. Most of the images take place in a hospital space, with some exceptions where I give new meaning to spaces and experiences. They talk about fragility, resilience, the survival of the species, a possible form of immortality. The work was carried out in 2023.The images can be found in the presentation sequence.
