Los mundos de TITA follows Cedillo’s older sister Tita, who was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder as a child. Now in her thirties, Tita remains in a childlike state, in need of her family’s full-time care and attention. The series sets fragments of girlhood alongside surreal visions. Brimming with humor, irony, and love, Cedillo’s photographs remind us that pieces of Tita’s world remain just out of our grasp. Cedillo includes her sister’s drawings as part of the series, each is an emotive message authored by Tita herself. Tenderly, Los Mundos de TITA maps the relationship between two sisters who, despite communicating in nonsense languages, are inextricably connected.
