“The relationship between what we see and what we know is never clear. Every evening we see the sun setting. We know that the Earth is moving away from it. However, knowledge, explanation, never quite fit with vision.”
-John Berger

What I felt tomorrow
I’ve been learning to quiet the part of my mind that tends to sabotage me, and to throw myself into trying the things that scare me the most. I’ve had opportunities to work on projects where I was afraid of failing, but today I’m deeply grateful I took them.

Nostalgia is what’s most present in my mind when I take photos. Much of what I photograph are things I saw as a child or years ago, which I now look at with a lot of affection and love.

Secrets kept by water
In a world that moves so fast, a creative challenge is finding the time and space to create. For me, creating is a ritualistic act that requires a process. Finding that inspiration, those moments when everything flows, can be complex.

Solitude
Many times I feel that my work isn’t good enough. Over the years I’ve learned to recognize those thoughts and not give them too much weight. Going out to take photos has become a form of rebellion against them: not taking everything so seriously and simply showing real moments.

The star
I’ve learned that balance is essential: being able to dedicate time to my own projects not only fuels my creativity but also keeps my motivation and passion alive. Understanding my limits and prioritizing my personal growth has been a constant learning process.

Forever rancherito
After a year I’d describe as deeply formative, returning to our roots, reconnecting with a crew we hadn’t worked with in years and filming once again in our hometown, Hermosillo, Sonora, felt like a hug for the heart.

Attempts to remain
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.

Histrion
For some time now, I’ve been working on a series that combines elements of fantasy and dreamlike imagery with a Southern Gothic vibe, titled ængelical Gëist. I hope it takes a physical form this year, perhaps as a zine or an exhibition/installation.

Noise in memory
The word memory, because every time I take a photo it’s to remember or preserve a moment. Memory will always be a powerful tool against forgetting, and since it’s possible to forget, we have images to keep memory alive.

On this side
I’ve been reflecting a lot on the temporality of the image and on how distance is an important factor in reading it. Not just physical distance, but also the critical distance that comes with the passage of time, with the materiality of the format and medium.

Deals
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: childhood.

Specters of a memory
I think it is important to know how to distinguish between what is being lived and what is being recorded, and to feel confident that beyond the image there is also an enduring memory that will ultimately become the true symbol of the photograph.
