Alvin Zafra

Alvin Zafra in studio
Armed with just sandpaper and stones, Alvin Zafra commits to image faint traces of messages and memories left behind by structures, forms, and locales – as if site markers to monuments that once stood or never were.

What is my new normal?

My goal each day is to live with loss. After my mother’s passing, I’ve been trying to find ways to make it through.
