LETTERS TO HOME II is an expanded cinema installation in which the artist delivers a letter to his late father, Julio. The letter unfolds as a film in two parts, projected onto a minimalist structure made of salvaged pieces from his father’s shed. The film blurs modes of poetic documentary and narrative, punctuated with moments of abstraction. At once intimate and myth-making, the letter reflects on how places and history link across generations, how memory and loss mark a sense of home, and how leaving is intertwined with belonging.
