Series 53: Abner Hizarsa, Desaparecido
Cris is a strong woman. But when the house chores are done, the store closed and the children asleep, it’s a bitter and sad time to be alone.
Please check out Surfacing: A photo project on the lives of the families of Desaparecidos for the official site.










Estan what a tremendous series. Your photographs give the viewer small snippets of what this family is going thru. I’m hooked and hope for the best for them. Is this common in their part of town where people disappear? Brilliant and my hope is that your photos will bring more light to their plight and enable them to one day be together with the return of the father.
John, thank you for the wonderful comment. The issue of enforced disappearances or being a decaparecido is not confined to a single place only but nationwide. The problem started with Marcos and, it seems, with every new administration, it is tainted with it. Much more now under the current government that it has intensified.
The Project Desap initiative is geared to letting this issue be more recognized so that it may at least stop, or if not, lessened and the victims found.
