Echoes of
Another Time

Fragmentos de otro tiempo

Some people move through the world as if they carry a different rhythm with them.

Photographs from opposite sides of the Atlantic. Different shores, different lives, yet the same instinct to stop, look outward, and imagine what lies beyond. A collection of photographs connected by water, distance, and the quiet moments that make distant places feel strangely familiar.

Fotografías realizadas a ambos lados del Atlántico. Lugares distintos, vidas distintas, pero la misma necesidad de detenerse, observar e imaginar aquello que se encuentra más allá del horizonte. Imágenes conectadas por el agua, la distancia y los pequeños instantes capaces de hacer familiar lo desconocido.

Before the Ashes

Las Hogueras fascinated me long before
I understood them. At first, I saw fire,
noise, and celebration. Then I realized
the tradition is really about accepting
that even the things we love eventually
disappear. Every monument is built knowing
its destiny from the beginning.
As a photographer, that tension feels
impossible to ignore. These images are my
attempt to hold on to a few moments
from a night designed to let go.

Las Hogueras me fascinaron mucho antes de comprenderlas realmente.

Al principio veía fuego, ruido y celebración. Con el tiempo entendí que la tradición trata, en el fondo, de aceptar que incluso aquello que amamos está destinado a desaparecer. Cada monumento se construye conociendo desde el inicio cuál será su destino.

Como fotógrafo, esa tensión resulta imposible de ignorar. Estas imágenes son mi intento de conservar algunos instantes de una noche concebida precisamente para aprender a soltar.

Waiting

Waiting is a universal condition.
At bus stops, train stations,
shorelines and public squares,
people occupy the space between
departure and arrival, certainty
and doubt, presence and absence.
These photographs explore those
suspended moments where nothing
appears to happen, yet something
essential is taking place beneath
the surface.

La espera

La espera es una condición universal.

En paradas de autobús, estaciones de tren, costas y plazas públicas, las personas habitan ese espacio intermedio entre la partida y la llegada, entre la certeza y la duda, entre la presencia y la ausencia.

Estas fotografías exploran esos momentos suspendidos en los que aparentemente no ocurre nada y, sin embargo, algo esencial está sucediendo bajo la superficie.

Ritual and Arena

Every December, the arena of Zapote becomes a stage. Bullfighters, vendors, medics, masked characters and spectators gather around a tradition that has shaped Costa Rican popular culture for generations. At the center of it all are the toreros improvisados—ordinary people who step into the ring and become part of the spectacle. A portrait of the community that keeps the ritual alive.

Cada diciembre, la arena de Zapote se transforma en un escenario.

Toreros, vendedores, personal médico, personajes enmascarados y espectadores se reúnen alrededor de una tradición que ha formado parte de la cultura popular costarricense durante generaciones. En el centro de todo están los toreros improvisados: personas comunes que entran al ruedo y se convierten en parte del espectáculo.

Un retrato de la comunidad que mantiene vivo el ritual.
