"She was dying. The doctor entered the room, carefully lifted the blanket and looked at her feet. Covered them back. They were turning blue. Doctor said, it had started. I had no idea that death begins from our feet. The crescendo of the oxygen detector’s signal became our music of desperation while my mother was holding and kissing my grandmother’s feet for the very last time, as if she was saying goodbye to the slowly dying parts of her mother’s body. Everybody started shouting, as if we didn’t know this was going to happen. I was probably silent. I don’t remember what I was doing. I only remember my mother."

Double Portrait is a communication of an artistic calling through photography and an archive of a personal journey of joy and sorrow that comes with love and birth; fear of loss, identity, childhood, motherhood, memory; a questioning of portrait traditions and the psychological aspect of photography. It's about remembering what it means to be held, and experiencing what it means to hold regardless of cultural norms related to gender. A process that records 9 years of research into a real-time system of observation on the mother-child relationship through different lenses. Double Portrait is a cartography towards the complex relationship between mother-child and the unfolding process of motherhood. It is also a visual response to the unimaginable death of everyone’s mother. It speaks of something we all know about emotionally, but can’t articulate all that easily. We know it when we see it. We know it when we feel it. We know it when it is absent. We carry it when we have been held and we carry it when we have not been held.

Double Portrait was an International Photo Book Award finalist at FELIFA - Festival de Libros de Fotos de Autor 2021 and was shortlisted in the PHotoESPAÑA 2021 Awards for the ‘Award for Best Photography Book of the Year’ in the international category.
