Breath
Alè - "Breath" in Catalan- narrates an existential journey that begins, one winter's day, following a diagnosis of cancer. Salvador documents in first person two years of walks in the forest as therapy to connect with nature, calm his mind and come to terms with his new reality, but also two years of chemotherapy with its inevitable side effects.
Since then, everything in his photography takes on a new meaning, everything can become a symbol or an evocation; everything prompts reflection and enlightens us.
Alè is a fight against destiny, with courage, optimism and love for life.
