Themes so recurrent in art, represented by three Greek mythology gods: Eros (god of passionate love), and the brothers Hypnos (god of sleep), and Thanatos (god of death). Forming a metaphor between the impulse of dreams, the infractions of love, and the meaning of death. Therefore, this photographic collection, conceived under the chiaroscuro technique, represents the most sensitive and also the darkest side of the human being. Evoking its evident fragility and its contrasting darkness. Each piece is accompanied by different phrases, quotations and texts that make up Universal Literature, which will lead to the understanding of this photographic collection."
