Abstract
Reflecting from the lived experience, being this a vehicle for the construction of knowledge, has been fundamental to carry out this text. It is derived from a part of my doctoral research, it is simply a provocation to let out issues such as masculinity, fatherhood and pediatric violence, which were emerging with a different type of writing and in a revealing way. With the aim of doing an exercise in ekphrasis through a description of a very intimate personal photograph, I have allowed myself to make this reflection from the perspective of evocative autoethnography. Using layered storytelling, where collection and analysis are done simultaneously. I make use, on the one hand, to discipline, outside of my training as a health professional, but understanding at the same time that this way of building knowledge from a personal experience to understand a cultural experience involves me, not just an act of vulnerability before the unknown, but a lot of learning, where the deconstruction and re-construction has been permanent.
