He is not strict, but at the same time he protects us from afar without being intrusive.”explains Ael who loves photographing his parents together.
“They're so cute! They're my example of a couple. I'm so happy to have parents who love each other so much and who never give up on each other”she says. As for her father's illness, she indicates: “He called it that (the switch), because when we learn of the existence of the disease, it puts a pause in our daily life. It interrupts everything we are doing and we move on to another adventure we didn't want to experience.

On this occasion, she also returns to her brother,
Inca, who like her, lived between two cultures :
