21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Alienation

This image represents my father and the relationship I have always had with him. My father always put work before family, often being absent during my childhood and adolescence. I have always experienced our relationship as alienating, although his affection towards me was not lacking. My father also suffers from Asperger's syndrome, and therefore his own life has often been alienated from what surrounds him, and I tried to convey with this photo all the sensations I feel when thinking about him and our relationship.
