INDICIOS is an artist’s book and a visual–emotional journey shaped by mourning, memory, and the intimate reconstruction of an absent life. Following the death of her mother, the author embarks on a deeply personal process that leads her to confront the material, emotional, and symbolic remains of an existence: objects, photographs, documents, everyday gestures, and places that serve as traces of an irretrievable presence.

Through image and text, INDICIOS reflects on the fragility of memory—its ephemeral and treacherous nature—and on the impossibility of fully recovering those we love. Objects do not restore what has been lost, yet they function as signs, clues, and fragments that allow a partial, almost truthful narrative to be woven between absence and remembrance.

The book is also a quiet tribute to a generation of women—anonymous mothers—whose lives, shaped by work, sacrifice, and care, left behind an invisible yet profound legacy. INDICIOS thus unfolds as both an intimate and universal narrative, where personal grief expands into a collective memory marked by displacement, inheritance, and identity.
