A collection of objects loaded with nostalgia.
These are six things from growing up in Puerto Rico — childhood, teenage years, early adulthood. Each one works as both a happy memory and a sad one. A reminder of what was.
The medium is real photography composited with AI.
Whether this stays a closed set of six or grows into something bigger — I don't know yet.

Why these six objects, and why now? Was there a specific memory or moment that started the series?
These are objects that remind me of my childhood, teenage years, and early adulthood in Puerto Rico. They work both as a happy memory, and a sad memory, reminding me of what was.
The triptych-on-black with the red glow is consistent across all six. What were you trying to make the viewer feel with that treatment — reverence, heat, distance, something else?
I was trying to communicate the feeling of "holiness" some of these objects represent to me.
Are these photographed, AI-generated, composited — and does the medium matter to you for the meaning?
They are composited of real photographs + AI.
Why the Spanish caption only, no English?
This is deep… I feel more myself when speaking Spanish. Let's leave it at that.
Is this a closed set of six, or the start of an ongoing collection?
I'm not sure yet.
