ENTEGONIA is a staged black-and-white series photographed in 2025 in and around Barcelona and Lleida. Two blindfolded figures repeat an unresolved exchange of a rose and a briefcase. Shot on a Sony digital camera using natural light, the series examines connection beyond imposed identity by keeping giving and receiving suspended. Minimal retouch on one image only.
