The Wells Run Dry
Made as part of the12 Carmignac Photojournalism Award Fondation Carmignac
Over 7 million Venezuelans have left my country. My parents. My brothers. My closest friends. Myself. One-by-one we all left. I saw my country become a different one, and my memories blur, as if looking at my childhood through a foggy window.
So, I went back in 2022, two years after migrating, and when I found myself in the middle of the decay, I sought refuge in the memory of others and my own. This is my attempt to look for the remains of the prosperous oil nation I grew up in. To dig into the memories of a time that existed before collapse.
