What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
Photography became my refuge and also my mirror. Lately I've been working on a series about everyday life, but not about "things that happen," but about moments that seem insignificant and yet sustain us.
What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
I learned to question myself: what does it mean to be human? what does it mean to live? I also unlearned to see the world as something alien; each story I portray also builds me.
What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Uncertainty. The feeling that everything is slipping away, that we're here today and who knows about tomorrow. That idea haunts me, but instead of paralyzing me, it drives me to capture. I photograph so that the moment doesn't completely escape me, to remind myself that every second has meaning, even if I don't yet understand it.
Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
Yes. A question I wrote when I was eleven years old: What will happen when it's all over? Sometimes I'm surprised by what a little girl could intuit about life. I think that question accompanies me with every click. Because photography isn't a game of light and shadow: it's my way of telling the world that something existed, that something was real, that something deserved to be felt.
What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
To recognize myself. To admit that I'm nostalgic, that the speed of the world makes me uncomfortable, that questioning everything weighs heavily on me. But right there, in that discomfort, photography becomes my most honest voice. It's the place where I can be vulnerable without asking permission.
What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
I couldn't choose just one place. I like to vary things, try new things, discover new things. But I always end up ordering water. It's my way of reminding myself that I'm still alive, that there's still something as simple as breathing that sustains me.
If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
My life would be a movie called Backlighting because I've always moved between light and shadow, between what's visible and what's left unsaid. The soundtrack would be by Natalia Lafourcade.
Recommend us an artist you follow who inspires you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.
Van Gogh. Not just for what he painted, but for how he felt. For his capacity to be vulnerable even when no one understood him. He inspires me because he reminds me that true art is born from daring to show wounds, not from hiding them.
Manifest:
I am the bridge between the human and the creative.
I am the gaze that translates silences, the word that gives voice to the forgotten.
I believe in art as an echo of the essential,
I believe that each image is a heartbeat, which is not only observed, but also felt,
I believe that every word is a bridge that leads to a story that refuses to be forgotten.
While the world races to create without stopping,
I embrace the pause, the breath, the instant where the human is revealed.
I work with people who are not afraid of extreme close-ups.
with those who understand that authenticity is not designed, it is discovered.
Because to communicate is to connect, and to connect is to touch souls.
