Umbrales is a visual metaphor for grief—an intimate journey through the shadows of pain toward the possibility of light.

The naked, blindfolded body represents the moment when everything seems lost: when death, fear, or absence blinds us.
The dark, enclosed space is that inner room where the silence of what is no longer there resides.
But there is a crack.

As the series progresses, the body begins to open up: it stretches, reveals itself, breathes. The skin, once restrained, becomes a testament to a life that insists on continuing.
Because even in grief, the desire to live persists.

Umbrales does not only portray pain—it also reflects a surrender to hope.
And in the end, when the blindfold falls and the darkness recedes, the model gazes toward the horizon: life, which he has finally chosen to live.
