21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
The voice of their shadow

This series was created as a tribute to all those children who have disappeared through violence and the Colombian armed conflict and, in this way, have lost the possibility of enjoying everything that childhood entails. Thus, the shadow is connoted in this work as that memory of the game, as that trace or indication of that which played, of that which was and now is no longer. It is for the above reasons that the shadow is configured in this series as that representative element of one's own childhood and the history that happens there.
