UN BOLERO PARA MAMA
03:11 minutes/black and white/no audio

In A Bolero for Mom (2024), the artist asks his mother to wash him as he now washes his own daughter. After a period of not seeing each other, during which Alvarez started his own family, he has become less intimate with his mother. "Now we are just strangers with shared emotions," says the artist. Now that he understands what it means to be a father and does not want to lose that intimate bond, he stages an intimate moment between himself and his mother.
