Héctor Rojas
the back streets of Valparaiso, Chile
Growing up in the narrow backstreets of Valparaiso, Héctor was attuned to small domestic sounds. His childhood was marked by the rhythm of screen doors and the whispers of neighborhood gossip up the alleys. As an adult, he works as a dishwasher in a bustling diner, where each plate feels like a tangible connection to those earlier, simpler patterns of life.
