“Pieza Madre” stands as a profoundly intimate and emotive collection of images by Basque photographer Andoni Beristain. Born out of the depths of personal loss, this series serves as a poignant tribute to his beloved mother, Ángeles, whose sudden departure in 2022 left an indelible void in her family’s lives.
In “Pieza Madre,” Beristain channels his grief into a visual narrative comprising 63 evocative photographs, each a testament to a year of his mother’s journey. Through his lens, he delicately captures the essence of Ángeles’s spirit, navigating themes of absence and remembrance with profound sensitivity.
Central to the series is the symbolic use of the color yellow—a hue traditionally associated with misfortune in certain cultures. Yet, in Beristain’s hands, yellow becomes a beacon of joy, warmth, and illumination, symbolizing the radiant essence of his mother’s presence. Amidst the complexities of loss, “Pieza Madre” emerges as a celebration of Ángeles’s enduring legacy, a vibrant tapestry woven from the threads of love, memory, and resilience.
