Teo

Teo was born in Barcelona on the first of August 2020. I took these photos on his twentieth day of life, during a visit I made to his father. Looking at them through my Rolleiflex, I had the impression of penetrating the intimacy of a secret relationship, made of strength and grace, absolute trust and presence, delicacy and firmness. The man’s hands, his strong and sure gestures, guide and nourish my gaze, becoming the words and language of the pure link that is established between these two beings before my eyes. And before their silhouettes, bathed in the soft light of the Barcelona afternoon, the memory (and nostalgia) of a certain something ancient and yet familiar resurfaced in my mind.
