Angelika Hala The story of a place, of its people, of its memories told in a series of images, each photograph a story in itself, beautiful and moving.
Chris Peters These look like reading my favorite novel for the first time. Beautiful, mysterious and haunting!
Tony imagined Rosemary giving him nuts. Adolf and Raúl’s house was burned down over land disputes. María emigrated, leaving her only son Emilio, who later died of alcoholism. Sabucedo’s wild horses have little space left; Aceredo lies underwater. Now Galicia suffers drought, eucalyptus invasions, and Altri’s looming factory. “Beyond the Lake” reflects this wounded land and my own roots: son of an alcoholic, grandchild of emigrants, photographing my village and home—places scarred by abandonment, exile, and the struggle to endure.
