Soul in remuneration

What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
I’ve been trying to approach the urban landscapes of Mexico City as a project, capturing moments from our everyday lives that we usually pass by without noticing.

I have also worked on projects that portray the intimacy of a subject, showing them as they are when they are alone. When no one is watching you, who are you?

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
Every activity is better if you enjoy yourself while doing it. You can build sets with lights, cameras, and wardrobe, but if you don’t approach it with the necessary lightness, sometimes it simply won’t work. I’ve learned that I shouldn’t do things expecting a result if I don’t allow myself to enjoy the process.

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Serenity, freedom, fulfillment, melancholy, film, music.

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
Creating, sustaining, and reworking my ideas with clarity around what I want to show. Sometimes I know what I want to express from the “why,” but I don’t always know how to answer the “how.”

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
A good BBQ burger from Carl’s Jr. or Burger King.

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
Chronicles of a soul in remuneration.

It would be Hans Zimmer, without a doubt. I’d love to know how he would portray my life. I’d also like figures such as Elton John, Billy Idol, Siddhartha, Bratty or The Weeknd to be involved. It’s hard to simplify when there are so many possibilities, but Hans Zimmer should definitely do it.

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.
In photography, Drew_lyb fascinates me: they capture atmosphere by playing with their models and adding subtle touches of mystery. Ittsenni is completely different; in their photographs they convey delicacy, calmness, and pacifism, and sometimes their images resemble paintings.

In other fields, such as acting, Jim Carrey feels sensational to me: his ability to transform through masks and to sustain those transformations, as well as his philosophy of life.

In music, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson represent, for me, the importance of challenging what is already established in order to make room for your own artistic vision.
