“Pieza Madre” is a deeply moving series of photographs by Andoni Beristain, created as a heartfelt homage to his mother, Ángeles Isidora Zabalo, whose sudden departure in 2022 left a profound void. Through 63 photographs, one for each year of Ángeles’s life, Beristain weaves a narrative that is both personal and universal, exploring themes of loss, memory, and the enduring human spirit.
The use of yellow in his work, a color often associated with both bad luck and joy, serves as a poignant reminder of the duality of life’s experiences. This series stands as a testament to the love and legacy of Ángeles, reflecting on the things we often take for granted and the abruptness with which they can be taken from us. Beristain’s work invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of love and loss, making “Pieza Madre” a tribute that resonates far beyond his personal story.
