The cover image, titled "Despojos" [Remnants] (2018), is the work of Andrés Montoya, a lawyer and professional photographer who has found in photography the magic of capturing memorable moments through light. He discovered in this art a fascinating universe where every little thing becomes a cosmos in which he loves to immerse himself. He is an explorer who colonizes moments with the intention of remembering them in the future, when his wrinkles bear witness to a serene time. He was born in Medellín in 1982 and graduated with a law degree from Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana. In addition to his legal career, he is dedicated to photography, writing, and poetry. He has received several notable awards throughout his career, including Winner of the Street Photography Awards 2016, Winner of the Agenda del Mar 2015 Contest, Winner of the UPB Photographic Art Exhibition 2015, and Winner in the "Creativa" category of the Colombian Photography Salon, Biennial 2020. These recognitions have been an incentive to continue exploring and creating through photography. His goal is to capture the beauty and special moments that life offers, conveying emotions and telling stories through his images.
