A goalkeeper's mother: Gloves and dust

Words: Aurora Gaubert

I have always had a foot on the field… We, mothers of goalkeepers, are different as they are. In my case, a camera in my hand was the perfect added excuse to stay close to that magical and cursed place that became his home.

Thousands of photographs and kilometers after those battles in search of a dream.

A couple of years ago I decided to return to every humble and small football field that saw us fight for our colours with passion and courage in order to recover the emotion of those years, so I began to create an album of those memories with a very special purpose.

Now my son is no longer a child, years have passed and so have dreams. But those dreams have not faded, they never do, they never get lost.

They stay in the same place where they were born: those "fields of dreams" that are filled with illusion every football day and which I try to honour and thank with each one of my photographs.
