Dos copas mas y te olvido. A humorous title for this project comprising 16 photographs taken in Paris between 2022 and 2024.

This series addresses the theme of romantic breakups by exploring the emotional process that follows a separation. The images convey the multiple states of mind that punctuate this journey.

As Hector Olguin explains, “while all love stories are unique, there is something universal about the experience of a break-up. In the fact of being overwhelmed by a whirlwind of emotions: incomprehension, anger, frustration, despair, emptiness, hesitation, sadness. Then, with time, acceptance, appeasement. Finally, liberation.

A break-up involves not only the loss of a person, but also the abandonment of plans, shared dreams and, moreover, part of one’s identity.

The characters in Dos copas mas y te olvido embody these emotions and torments through their gestures, contortions and sometimes grimaces. The body painting reinforces this impression of a marked body, inhabited in its flesh by the memory of the lost loved one.

The narrative does not follow a strict chronology. It is more like an interior space into which each viewer is invited to project their own experiences. Only the last photograph is fixed and closes the series: like a blank page stripped of all ornamentation, it suggests a conclusion as much as it opens up a passage and a possible return to life.
