First Encounter

by

Nacho Yagüe

Using bright, dreamlike light to reinforce the joy of the moment, First Encounter portrays the fateful meeting of a precocious young boy and the infant monkey who would eventually become his long-time traveling companion. It serves as a prequel to an earlier work of Yagüe's entitled The Delivery, which concludes the saga of their journey when the boy - now a fully grown man - reunites the monkey with his mother after years of walking and searching.
