# Snailish Snapshots Alejandro Chavetta Makes Priceless Paper Pieces in 'Moon Men' By Brian G Randles | Published 2009-12-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alejandro-chavetta References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/AlejandroChavetta) & [silvermule](http://www.silvermule.com/) Alejandro Chavetta is an artist out of San Francisco, California who has created a unique set of [handmade paper collages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) which he is putting on display in Chicago starting on December 17th, 2009. His works remind me of the [ancient profiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/profiles-in-color) you would see in a high school yearbook from 60 pr 70 years ago. I am glad Alejandro Chavetta decided to cover up the faded faces with a series of unique spheres… black and white photos of dead guys don’t brighten my day.
