Most Costa Ricans will agree with me when I say that San Rafael de Escazú is a place where nothing ever happens, but if you look very carefully at the details and enchantments that this place holds, you can find many hidden stories.

The purpose of this project was to explore the beauty of the gardens, the art of observation, the closeness of the people, and the simple architecture of Escazú. As if these pictures were to hold a fantasy of what it’s like to live in latino suburbs, and to tell the story of the characters who inhabit them.

This project was shot in black and white film to make it seem as a parallel, hidden Escazú, that only those who look very closely can venture into.
