The last chapter of the trilogy that has followed the cultural turmoil that the US has lived in the last 4 years. The third volume continues to paint an uncertain present and future. Alejandro's pictures in this project, since the beginning, have channeled that fear of fire, the engulfing heat, the insatiable flames, devouring everyone and everything, leaving charred scars behind So what now? If Alejandro can see the future? How is this book, the last in the trilogy, different and new? Well, it's confident in its bleak outlook. Booklet signed by the artist. Perfect binding. Hotfoil white velvet softcover.
