The photobook consists of three booklets, each with its own narrative and significance.
The first booklet, yellow in color, features a star on its cover, symbolizing the alterations made to Venezuela’s patriotic symbols under the current regime. Designed as an accordion, it evokes the idea of an endless journey toward an uncertain future. Through its pages, we traverse sterile landscapes along the northern border and follow the central corridor, historically the most active route, which offers a contemplative and bucolic view of the region.
The second booklet, blue in color, depicts a halted horse with its head turned backward—a representation of the horse from Venezuela’s national coat of arms as it appeared before 2006. This section immerses us in the homes of Venezuelan migrants in Colombia. The portraits capture their lingering grief for what they left behind: their traditions, loved ones, and sense of belonging.
Finally, the third booklet, red in color, showcases an untamed and free horse, the one that replaced the previous design in Venezuela’s coat of arms, symbolizing a country that many Venezuelans no longer recognize. Here, we witness the stories of fractured families, broken individuals, and fragmented lives.
