Raising a son is like watching a fragment of yourself break free, stepping into the world on its own. With each word and each step he takes, he drifts further from you, molding you into who he’s destined to be. It’s like your heart is out there, navigating the world independently, evolving beyond your grasp. This detachment, though it carves a void, paradoxically fills you. There’s a strange fulfillment in this letting go, a realization that through his journey towards autonomy, you’re arriving at a fuller sense of what it is to be a man. It’s in this release, this acceptance of his individuality, that you find yourself becoming whole, a father.
– Sinuhe Xavier
In this episode of Huckberry Homes, we are welcomed into filmmaker and photographer Sinuhe Xavier’s base camp in Colorado. While his life may be on the road, the grounding of his home and connection to his son is evident. When you’re always on the move, the things and memories you come home to are important. A lifetime of art, photography, and books from his travels inspire his work as a commercial director and photographer, while the quiet and solitude of the mountains serve as a respite from the outside world.
