A deeply personal and retrospective photobook that is able to bring back the past by documenting time and familial relationships.
The photographs are taken in San Juan, Puerto Rico during the month of May 2024 at the homes of my two grandmothers, Lala and Tita. These are combined with images taken by my relatives during my childhood and my parent’s early lives. I narrate the memories that arise when looking at each photograph.
