Val Vega was struck by a horse just seconds after releasing the shutter. The analog camera absorbed the force of the impact, shielding her skull from what could have been a fatal blow.

The near-death experience marked a turning point. It led her back home to Puerto Rico, where she underwent a profound creative evolution—refining her voice and sharpening the distinct visual language that now defines her work.

All of it began with a single, improbable moment: a camera that quite literally saved her life.

With the purchase of this print, you become part of Val’s journey—supporting her continued artistic evolution.
