Entonces las cenizas flotan
Extrañamente, algo le dice que tiene que ir a donde está. Intentando perseguirla, se enfrenta a varios peligros que tiene que saltar y “volar” sobre ellos; tiene que dejar sus miedos, ver hacia atrás con amor y darse cuenta de lo efímero que es el pasado, para así ir con el viento, morir, y resurgir…

Cinematic Sunsets
Even though I work on letting it go, there’s still some subconscious inner expectation that life can be like it used to be before the war. The expectation that life can be calm and consist only of positive moments. No anxiety, no worries—just a simple life.

Domestic, Monastic, Slow, and Pleasurable Odyssey
I try to carry a camera with me to document my walks, the rhythms of the places I move through, the colors of everyday life, and the gestures of the ordinary that catch my attention. Added to this is the “discovery” of how everything expresses itself unpredictably when shooting with expired film.

Golden Hour
I feel most like myself during golden hour, when the light inspires me.

Brief Encounter
Watching my country participate in the genocide in Gaza has made me change my mind about many things I thought I understood and has made me feel embarrassed for the naïve beliefs I once took for granted.

Tell Him Your Plans
I went out with my family—whom I hadn’t seen in 15 years—to deliver large water jugs to the farming fields in Patole, Sinaloa, and I brought my analog camera with me to photograph life in the fields.

We Live Here
Durante mucho tiempo estuve enfocado en hacer retratos, pero en los últimos dos años, me he enfocado más en salir y hacer fotografía de calle en mi ciudad o en los lugares a los que viajo.

I’m interested in portraying images that convey melancholy and solitude, focusing on the process of inhabiting the world as human beings. I’m drawn to capturing intimate and quiet moments that speak about the experience of existing.
