Zoila, an immigrant from Ecuador, has not seen her son in fifteen years. In her mind, she still imagines him as a four year old child. In the years that have passed since she left him with her mother in Cumbé, the small Ecuadorian village where she was raised, she has remarried and given birth to three American children who have never met their brother. For three months we worked together to create a book for her son Sebastian, inspired by the family’s desire to connect and understand the other’s lives. The completed an album included photos, corresponding messages written for Sebastian, and photos the children took with Fujifilm disposable cameras. After the album’s completion, I traveled to Ecuador to meet Sebastian, and we created a second book with the same format to give to his mother Zoila.
