Mérida, Time and Shipwreck.
Time, element that sustains the life of all, like the sea. But these are inert waters. 30 Million statues, the Venezuelan people at the mercy of loneliness in recent years captured in the Plaza Bolivar de Mérida. A metaphor for the current humanitarian crisis in my nation.

He was born in Caracas on July 23, 1998. He lived in the Jose Felix Ribas neighborhood until he was 15 years old. and mute for El Vigía looking for a quieter place and there he discovered the School of Audiovisual Media in the city of Mérida, two hours from the town where he is currently studying in the Faculty of Humanities of the Universidad de los Andes. It was not until he was 14 that he used his first camera, discovering his vocation that beyond, is a way of life.
I am apolitical, but that does not blind me to the current problems that Venezuela, my native country, is going through. Hunger, inflation, immigration ... getting worse. As everyone affected me in a certain way, and one day in those moments of solitude I was in the Plaza and discovered that we were all the same, with the same connection, an island. Create this documentary as a metaphor for the feelings of my people.
