Solitude in the Living Room
A man sits enveloped by the quiet geometry of his space; light pours through the window, illuminating objects that speak of memory—books, music, notes. This room is both shell and stage. The stillness is not loneliness but the gathering of strength, a negotiation between what survives outside and what endures within.
Defiant Movement
Carlos Moro bursts into animated gesture, channeling vitality and theatrical energy during a candid moment at home.
Gesture and Vitality
Arms thrust forward with a force that belies fragility, his motion is almost playful—a brief rebellion against gravity, against time. In the stark lines of his coat and the outstretched hands, I sense the echo of theater, the performance of being alive, even as the body becomes a battleground.
The Ritual of Medication
Carlos Moro prepares his daily medication, a quiet ritual amid the challenges of illness, in his Barcelona apartment.

Every pill, every careful arrangement signals ritual—a choreography of survival. The tray is an altar; the act, a prayer to the ordinary. Here, illness is neither spectacle nor sentence, but a series of deliberate, defiant choices made in private.
Embrace of Love

Reflections of Self
Carlos Moro stands before the bathroom mirror, contemplating his reflection during a quiet morning ritual.
Reflection at the Mirror
A figure meets his own gaze, separated by glass, unified by intent. The mirror frames not only a face but a question—how to reconcile the self remembered with the self revealed by change. There is vulnerability in this daily reckoning, but also courage.

Detail and Dignity
Hands work at fabric, buttoning a coat with measured care. This act, repeated countless times, becomes an assertion: I am still here, still capable of small dignities. Each button fastened is a quiet refusal to surrender to chaos.
