What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
Lately, I have been working on a project involving cyanotype called Cocol, like the Mexican bread. On the other hand, I continue creating images that focus on the female body as a central subject, alongside another theme I’ve been exploring over the past two years: the early and middle years of childhood (ages 3 to 11).
What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
1. You’re not alone in what you’ve experienced (learning that others have gone through similar things).
2. Patience matters (learning to let a project unfold, rather than expecting it to be finished quickly).
3. Photos can be your books (learning to read them not just visually, but by noting the emotions they evoke and understanding how they achieve that technically).
4. Keep your word, communicate, and ask questions—lessons I learned while working at an audiovisual production company.
What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Love, create, childhood, femininity.
Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
“Why don’t you speak?” was one of the sentences I heard most often as a child, and in some way, I used all that anger and sadness to create one of my projects.
What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
Time. It’s challenging to balance work, personal life, and family, but there are always moments for it, even if they are few.
What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
Mog Bistro, in Roma Norte. Everything is delicious. I’d start with some edamame, they’re exquisite.
If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
Title: Deals.
Soundtrack: The Parent Trap. I really relate to “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye”.
Recommend one or more artists you follow who inspire you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.
Photographer: Guglielmo Profeti. I love the colors he uses, the simplicity, and at the same time, the curiosity his work sparks.
Artist: Olivia Dean. Her music and voice make me feel at home, sitting in a living room with a cup of coffee.
Artist: Rosalía, “Delirio de grandeza”
She simply lifts you up, even if that sounds cheesy. It gives you a sense of power.
Work: Proyecto Rufina. I’ve experienced highs and lows, but working with them has taught me so much. Their tastes, the connection, and the atmosphere they create will always remain in my heart.
