Selected for the shorlist of APERTURE/PARIS PHOTO Photobook Award 2022 and as one of the 20 Best Photobooks of the Year by TIME Magazine.

Mention of Honor by PhotoEspaña Book Award 2023.

A photobook about life in prison, change, dreams, the Free Convict Hip Hop Collective and their journey from incarceration to freedom in Venezuela. 

Through photography, documents, interventions, collages and collaborative work this book aims to interconnect the dots of childhood, adolescence, education, exclusion, family, the nocive mirage of power and aggressive masculinity and the reality of fast death or hard work for self redemption. And how these young men living in a system that sees them as a lost cause, and with all the odds against, built and developed their own plan for reinsertion.
