In Retrieving the Light, the photographer and haematologist Carlos Canal offers his camera to Rosa Ramiro, one of his patients diagnosed with leukaemia. While undergoing treatment, Rosa kept a diary with photos and texts in which she transparently documented her experience of the disease. Her story is a universal example of lucidity and a valuable reminder of how the photographic narrative can become an ally for finding meaning and clarity in times of crisis. Reading this book restores our faith in humanity and its ability to overcome even the most trying adversities.
Designer Alberto Salván from Tres Tipos Gráficos has turned Rosa’s story into a contemporary version of the photo journal, a true gem of a book.
In addition to Rosa Ramiro’s own writings, the volume includes texts by Carlos Canal and José Gómez Isla.
