Where the world still begins

A photographic vision of Iceland

Cover of the book Where the world still begins, by José D. Riquelme

There are places you don't visit. You pass through them, you feel them, you carry them inside. Iceland wasn't a destination. It was a heartbeat.

This book doesn't set out to show places. It sets out to share feelings: what I felt standing before the immense.
