Mirar el mar

Sometimes life is condensed into seemingly minuscule moments in which, nevertheless, profound emotions and affections shine forth, if one knows how to appreciate them, like the love that unfolds in the seconds it takes for a little girl to run into her father's arms or in the calm breathing of a loved one. Imbued with a sensitivity attentive to the everyday, the micro-stories in *Mirar el mar* (Looking at the Sea) offer glimpses of truth and suggest a deep attachment to life, so intertwined with the lives of others. Sometimes with gravity and sometimes with humor, Pablo Echart's gaze opens to the immensity that unfolds before his eyes, perhaps in search of shipwrecks to salvage from the wreckage, or perhaps for a white whale that will give meaning to the journey.
