The protagonist of this work it is, at the same time, the main absent: the man.<br />
The man in his social and communal dimension.<br />
The contexts designed and arranged to encourage communication, play, participation, respect, sharing, skills development, become no  - places unable to perform their function. <br />
The silent nature appears the only creature really and irreducibly faithful to the vocation involved in its essence.<br />
Their state of neglect, decay times, recalls the waiver insane man / citizen called, by its nature, to express themselves and build.<br />
The only faces represented are those mediated by the eye of the artist: a film, a stone statue .. as if to say that the true humanity still exists only in the eyes of those who seek beauty.

  • A woman sweeps the courtyard in front of the Dr. Miguel Sanchez health center in Guaimaca, Honduras.  The health care system in Honduras is in dire need as villagers are forced to either go to the healthcenter for a little money, but offers few services or go to the hospital which is a fully paid health facility and few can afford. Honduras is considered the third poorest country in the Western Hemisphere (Haiti, Nicaragua). With over 50% of the population living below the poverty line and 28% unemployed, Hondurans frequently turn to illegal immigration as a solution to their desperate situation. The Department of Homeland Security has noted an 95% increase in illegal immigrants coming from Honduras between 2000 and 2009, the largest increase of any country.

  • Woman in Galisteo, Caceres province, Extremadura region, Spain  . The WAY OF SAINT JAMES or CAMINO DE SANTIAGO following the Silver Way, between Seville and Astorga, SPAIN. Tradition says that the body and head of St. James, after his execution circa. 44 AD, was taken by boat from Jerusalem to Santiago de Compostela. The Cathedral built to keep the remains has long been regarded as important as Rome and Jerusalem in terms of Christian religious significance, a site worthy to be a pilgrimage destination for over a thousand years. In addition to people undertaking a religious pilgrimage, there are many travellers and hikers who nowadays walk the route for non-religious reasons: travel, sport, or simply the challenge of weeks of walking in a foreign land. In Spain there are many different paths to reach Santiago. The three main ones are the French, the Silver and the Coastal or Northern Way. The pilgrimage was named one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites in 1993. When there is a Holy Compostellan Year (whenever July 25 falls on a Sunday; the next will be 2010) the Galician government's Xacobeo tourism campaign is unleashed once more. Last Compostellan year was 2004 and the number of pilgrims increased to almost 200.000 people.
