It may seem obvious that physical spaces reflect, to a certain extent, the lives that unfold inside them. People appropriate the spaces they inhabit, trying to adapt them to their particular measure and taste, representing their human and circumstantial essence. As people evolve, so do places.

​

Places tell stories. Such changes are commonly intervened consciously and with intention; let’s say a couple is preparing to receive their child and what once was an office will become a nursery. Or if a pandemic hits and suddenly people were forced to sleep, study, work and exercise all within the same walls... we adapt. However, there are times when people are so consumed by their experiences that they forget about the place itself.

Places are demanding, and the obvious result of oblivion is decadence. What’s uncertain, at this point, is whether conflict is absorbing the physical space or if the place absorbs the people to the point where they no longer care to fix it.

This series portrays the story of a family, my family, and how it started to break. But rather than falling into particularities regarding this family, the pictures presented here should be taken as a sample of spaces being metaphors.
