Synopsis

This work is an exploration of our memories: a labyrinth where remnants linger after we have faded. It offers a close look at the past and future, delving into the beginning and end of hypothetical existences and recollections, shaping an uncertain and unconscious present.

In a world where the certainty of time slips away, Dust & Recuerdos invites us to acknowledge our fleeting existence. Sometimes, when we resist the world, we leave traces behind. In the face of mortality and the loss of beauty, the only constant is the acceptance of change.
