Roland Barthes affirms that every photograph is a "certificate of presence ", that is, to present the necessary history of who we are, where the photographic portrait comes to certify the existence of a human group, a family, a person.
And it is through this medium where the interpretations that the human condition itself makes of its history can be captured, memory make it visible in an emotionality in which photography participates, gets involved, making time a combination of identities and meanings of life, just like an intimate diary, which distinguishes one biography from another, the uniqueness of each one.
From this perspective, this mode of artistic expression, potently serves the present, opens a space of light against oblivion: that which has taken place only once and that can make an absence tangible, challenging visual memory, as a means of reparation. .
