Attempts to remain

What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
Lately I’ve been developing several creative projects simultaneously. On one hand, I’ve developed audiovisual and photographic content for restaurants across different approaches: pre-launch materials, coverage of special events, and videos designed for social media, exploring the intersection between the commercial and the emotional.
At the same time, I’ve been very focused on writing: I finished a book and have been refining it, with the intention of trying to publish it soon. I’ve also returned to cinema and audiovisual work from a freer place, creating creative and experimental videos, exploring multimedia archives,. scanners, found images, and processes that dialogue with memory, the preservation of essence, and the need to remain

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
I’ve unlearned the urgency to produce immediate results. I’ve learned to move between the commercial and the personal without one canceling the other; to trust long processes, and to understand that even in marketing there is room for sensitivity, and that experimental work doesn’t always need to be loud to be profound.

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Memory, archive, permanence, body, repetition, home. The constant feeling of trying to preserve something that inevitably changes. The search for a fleeting kind of eternity in art, even if fragile or incomplete.

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
Yes. Lately I’ve been drawn to transitional films: slow-paced, not aiming for anything dramatic to happen, but inviting us to understand and accompany processes. Stories where what matters is care, time, and support. Also, conversations about creative fatigue, identity, and the passage of time, along with music that functions more as atmosphere than as protagonist.

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
Sustaining long processes without certainties. Finishing a book without knowing what will happen next, trusting work that doesn’t have an immediate response, and allowing the creative process to be irregular without punishing it.

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
Lately I really like Le Coq. I always look forward to the freshly baked bread they bring at the beginning; it’s something simple, but it has become my favorite part of the experience. I like thinking about food from there: from the small gestures that linger.

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
It would be called Attempts to remain and the soundtrack would be a mix of ambient music, soft electronic, and songs that function more as memory than as structure.

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.
I don’t draw inspiration from any single artist. Inspiration for me is fluid: some works resonate for a time and then fade. I’m more interested in observing how perspectives shift, how languages evolve, and how creative processes transform over time.
