In the genesis of the Macondo Project, a Spanish cemetery becomes the unconventional cradle, where the paradoxical convergence of birth and burial occurs. Amidst the sacred resting place, I embark on a visual odyssey, capturing portraits that once bore witness to the essence of humanity. Some stand frozen, crystallized memories immortalized in the lens—a final opportunity for visibility before the inexorable retreat into the shadows. Others, elusive specters, slipped away before my lens could immortalize their existence.

Just as time's inexorable march erodes the contours of our recollections, so too does it cast its weathered veil upon the temporal landscapes frozen in each frame. This project serves as an inquiry into the malleability of our collective memory, framing it as a vessel, a repository—a manifestation of our shared I-YO. How enduring are these impressions? Through how many generations will the echoes of my visage reverberate before they dissolve into the ephemeral mist of forgotten time? The portraits, like memories, confront the inevitability of fading, challenging us to ponder the legacy we leave imprinted upon the ever-shifting canvas of remembrance
