"Terminarme", Spanish for: "to finish myself", an incorporation of U.S Military way of communicating to describe "the ending of life", seemingly not violent, is a compilation of images taken from July 2020 to January 2021, a period in which I had suicidal tendencies frequently. Despite having no interest in life within this time frame, and having visually documented the possible sites of my own "termination", including my balcony on a 10th floor, the self portraits show a completely opposite "feel", reinforcing the fact that suicidal persons many times present no signs of their intentions and can easily "pass by" from their relatives. Until it is too late.
After finding a pattern and bringing together the content, and considering how I really felt at the time, I came to the conclusion that these self portraits were an unconscious attempt to capture my own "remembrance". How do I want to be remembered? I was visiting landmarks, places with high elevations, doing solo hikes, documenting the gear I used and looking for other deeds to prove myself to society "before leaving". To leave a legacy contrary to how I really felt. I was a knight errant...
