El Recuerdo

Editorial / 2026

El Recuerdo is a miniature editorial publication that celebrates the nostalgia of growing up in Colombia during the 2000s. Drawing from personal experiences, it brings together the places, rituals, and everyday moments that shaped my childhood.

The title references a countryside estate, while its visual language draws inspiration from the aesthetics of family photo albums, incorporating my parents’ handwriting and fragments of personal photographs.

El Recuerdo is a tribute to the little girl I once was and to the memories that, although deeply personal, are part of the collective experience of growing up in Colombia.

A Pocketbook of a Colombian Childhood

Entre el barro,
el pasto
y la ciudad.

En alguna finca,
con las rodillas raspadas

Colombia, 2002.

Between the mud,
the grass,
and the city.

Somewhere in the countryside,
with scraped knees.

Colombia, 2002.
