"Beloved Future depicts the circumstances, actions, memories and desires of a summer in New York. These are photographs that recreate a longing; an exercise that explores the concept of time; a narrative that connects the moments lived and dreamt in that cinematographic city, which contains both the past and the future in its images. New York is a city where everything is possible: love and war, invasion and disappearance; where you feel you can talk to the world and at the same time lose yourself among its multitudes; a city that permits you to indulge in a dream and yet be resigned to an uncertain future. It is like a photograph that in freezing a moment prevents the melting of a piece of ice in the street during a New York summer. A romantic expectation turns into a disappointment in New York. However, the yearning persists and finds, through the image, the longed for correspondence. This projection binds the evidence with the possibility, photography with painting. In it, the spots of paint suggest a new. The past and the future thus coincide in a temporal gathering that gives back continuity to the image. Beloved Future takes the inexhaustible image of New York, where the urban waste and the treasures of its museums set the stage for a future archaeology of an autobiographical narrative." --Page [2].
