Estela from Mujeres presas
A stark black-and-white gelatin silver print by Argentine photographer Adriana Lestido, this image is part of her powerful series *Mujeres presas* (Imprisoned Women), which documented the lives of incarcerated women and their children in Argentine prisons during the late 1980s. The photograph of Estela captures an intimate and humanizing moment, reflecting Lestido's deeply empathetic approach to portraying individuals living on the margins of society. With its unflinching yet tender gaze, the work challenges viewers to confront questions of confinement, identity, and human dignity.
