HERNANDO

To want to make a change, to hope to leave a mark. Those who want it, who wish it, are often the people who make a place for themselves within the publics’ eye. Inside the complexity of a country saturated with corruption, poverty, and holographic socio-political stances, what does it take? Who does one have to be in order to place oneself on a platform, to be scrutinized, to be susceptible to the judgment of those who prefer to stand in the side-lines? To do “the right thing”? To fight against the vertigo of anonymity?
Hernando’s headstrong idealism, his glaring youth, his tenacious ambition, are the delicate fibers that weave his humanness. An important piece of the urban puzzle, Hernando guides us through his own, piecing together the pieces of his system, as broad or as narrow as any other. What, or whom, is indispensable to one’s life? Simple question- simple answer. Or is it?
