Visual arts
“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

Grey
I’ve spent years writing for myself about this topic: how different works of art (literature, film, photography, music, street art) have changed the narratives around violence in Mexico and have become vehicles for protest and memory.

Let Error Lose Its Weight
I would love to exhibit my work in a solo show, and more than ever I’m thinking about how it could scale up and take on a different dimension. I dream of giant sculptures, inflatables, and murals.

Non-Place
Durante la construcción visual y narrativa he logrado aprender a apreciar cómo el transporte público brinda un espacio de “no lugar”, donde se simula cierta renuncia a la identidad y solo se vive la espera.

I Thought I Had More Time
The brief snow season we experience in Australia became a quiet way of thinking about the nature of temporary connections, including the one with the person I went on that road trip with, who I have since parted ways with.

Separated Yet One
My main project is motherhood. In the coming months, I hope to return to the ceramic project and refocus on developing editorial projects, which remain the central axis of my practice and the space where I most enjoy working.

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.

Blue Pearl Bay
I’ve always been fascinated by photographing abandoned or empty buildings, and over the course of my photography it has evolved from being very literal into something more nuanced (that’s not to say I don’t get super excited about abandoned buildings, because I definitely do).

Thirty-Three
As in a haiku, the content of a photograph is minimal. We don’t know the context, the smell, or the circumstances that led to the creation of the image. As viewers, it’s up to us to fill in that information.

Quiet Days
Sometimes a good photograph appears when I stop looking for it so desperately. I’ve also learned that I don’t always have to be creating something new to feel like I’m moving forward.

The Diary Through the Image
My gaze changes day by day: what interests me today may stop interesting me tomorrow, and vice versa. In this process, I try to keep curiosity alive and continue looking at the world with the same eyes with which I once learned to photograph.

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.
