Passport photos, specific photographic self-portraits for identity documents, are often produced in excess of the needs that generate them and lie forgotten.

Advances and waste of identity that follow you with their gaze and stare at you. They beg for consideration.

Little inclined to hedonistic conservation and uncomfortable in the self-celebration portrayed in repetition, I recover these images giving them a second chance and allowing them to rebuild their lives.
