Mírame, Lima (See me, Lima)

Mírame, Lima is a series of family portraits aiming to reflect the cultural, ethnical, religious diversities present within the Peruvian capital. Partly as a result of insecurity, street violence and lack of information, people tend to live isolated, afraid from each other, in small groups from which they rarely emerge.

With this project we would like to help to get to know each other better, to encourage integration and respect between citizens and to do so with a positive, optimistic tone in order to avoid conflict and controversy and live in a peaceful environment. We framed each portrait with a window as an invitation to pry into the other people’s world.
