The last station

In a culture that idolizes youth, old age becomes a kind of taboo, and the aging body, an uncomfortable reminder of the inexorable passage of time. This veiled disregard is reflected in the way we treat the elderly, who are often relegated to abandonment, neglect, and invisibility. In this context, long-term care institutions emerge as spaces that often represent the last refuge for elderly individuals facing physical, emotional, and social challenges in their lives.

This work also honors and acknowledges the tireless efforts of caregivers and professionals who dedicate their lives to caring for the elderly. Each image captures their dedication and professionalism, showing that caregiving goes far beyond daily tasks. It is a relationship of trust, affection, and mutual respect that develops between them—one that is fundamental to the well-being and quality of life of the elderly.

In "The Last Station", each photograph is a silent yet powerful testimony to the resilience and humanity that characterize the aging process. Beyond inviting us to rethink our values, priorities, and attitudes toward the elderly, this work seeks to inspire change, foster dialogue, and, above all, celebrate life in the final station of the human journey.
