Taken in a room at the Atocha train station, Madrid, in an installation commemorating the victims of the 2004 train bombing terrorist attack. The model is a child that I developed the image by emphasizing the good contrast between the person,light and darkness.The model boy is not posing, but rather a natural snapshot of him looking up to see this installation. I made the picture by symbolizing a child's life in which he will live without losing a certain hope in the future, despite the many uncertainties in the world.
