The Sea Between Two Lives

These works emerged from a period I still cannot remember in a linear way. My daughter was born in Cádiz, at Hospital del Mar. Later, my son was born there too. When my daughter came into the world, my father was already dying. In that overlap of arrival and loss, I began writing letters to myself. The images in this series draw on personal photographs, notes, and fragments from that time. They do not attempt to document the past. Instead, they reconstruct memory in its actual condition: fractured, layered, overexposed, tender, and unsettled. The sea of Cádiz is not merely a subject here. It is the storage surface of that time - the field where birth, fear, love, anticipation, and farewell were all inscribed into one another. These works were made with AI, but not from a distance. For me, the medium was neither a shortcut nor a gimmick, but a way of approaching images that resist linear narration. Not as it was, but as it remained.
