When coming to the United States in search of the American dream, everyone reaches it in different ways. Each case is different, but in the end all those of us who come to the United States come in the hope of reaching a dream that was denied to us in our country of origin. A dream becomes a reality when we reach our goals successfully. But while some succeed, others never reach their goals; their hopes are shattered and they are forced to face one of their worst defeats.
Ever since I moved to the United States, my life has been so intense and deep. A life full of ups and downs, of light and darkness, just like the contrasts that exist in my photographs. Driven by the nostalgia brought on by my loneliness I relive the moments spent away from my country, moments that are even more valuable because of my time spent in New York. In Miami Beach I almost touched the sky with my fingertips ... My story is the story of the American dream, the immigrant who comes to America in search of a better life, the story of an artist who finds his voice, the story of a man who had to leave Colombia to become the man he always wanted to be.
