Interviews

"If it is absolutely necessary for art or theater to serve any purpose, it will be to teach people that there are activities that are useless and that it is essential that they exist."

-Eugène Ionesco

  • Non-Place

    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

    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.

  • Aniversari feliç

    Aniversari feliç

    The entire recording flowed as if every gesture we made had already been predetermined. I think it has been one of the most peaceful recordings of my life. Every stage of the album—mixing, design, and videos—felt completely natural.

  • Separated Yet One

    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.

  • Entonces las cenizas flotan

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

  • Golden Hour

    Golden Hour

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

  • Brief Encounter

    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

    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

    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.

  • Learning to Be

    Learning to Be

    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. 

  • Reboot From Recover

    Reboot From Recover

    Rather than closed projects, my practice functions as a process of exploration and inner discovery, where each image becomes an episode that feeds into a larger project focused on maintaining my sense of wonder, feeling present, and nurturing an internal dialogue.

  • Monsters Paradise: The Becoming of Her Divine Beast

    Monsters Paradise: The Becoming of Her Divine Beast

    La ropa carga códigos sociales, tiempo, clase y la presencia del mundo construido por el ser humano; todos elementos que deliberadamente excluyo de mis pinturas. Al retirar eso, el cuerpo puede existir en y con la naturaleza, como algo elemental y no construido.

  • What's Behind

    What's Behind

    Currently I’m in the process of working on four projects at the same time: my collaborative design shop, the new collection for my brand, a fashion show with two other brands, and also an analogue photography documentation project.

  • A Phoenix Awakens

    A Phoenix Awakens

    Despite usually engaging in street photography and photojournalism, I've been slowly formulating an idea for a photographic book on the art form and culture surrounding tattooing.

  • The Man from Snowy River

    The Man from Snowy River

    Lately, I’ve been diving into medium format slide film with my beautiful RB67. The simple complexity of its mechanical operation has me enthralled.

  • Lucid Dreams and the City Cat

    Lucid Dreams and the City Cat

    I’m on a lifelong mission to take portraits of my beautiful friends. I have a roll of Ilford FP4 Plus in one of my cameras at the moment for double exposing. I’m nearly finished with that one and I’m super excited to see how they come out.

  • Chasing The Light

    Chasing The Light

    Being creative takes time, money, risk, failure, many different aspects which can be easy to avoid with the demands of life. Trying to find a balance that can be sustainable is important.

  • Falling In Love With Strangers, Friends & Spaces

    Falling In Love With Strangers, Friends & Spaces

    From photos of my loved ones to strangers and scenes I observe on my travels, I couldn’t imagine a world where that no longer feeds my soul. I hope you enjoy this selection of film photos pulled from this ever-growing archive.

  • Exploring In Solitude

    Exploring In Solitude

    Those late hours resonate with me as it's so quiet and calm, which draws to me being a an introvert and spending a lot of time in solitude exploring life and its experiences.

  • January Snows

    January Snows

    One of the central axes has been solitude—not as a lack or something negative, but as a necessary space to encounter oneself. From a perspective close to Taoism, solitude becomes silence, and silence becomes clarity.

  • The Destination Is the Journey

    The Destination Is the Journey

    This year I’ll travel across the Baja California Peninsula, from Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas. More than a vacation, this is the first somewhat serious project I’ve done since university.

  • Nocturnal Being

    Nocturnal Being

    A few years ago, I understood that I probably won’t be able to make a living from what I love, so I dedicate myself to it without pretensions — simply with the desire to learn, improve, and feel at ease while doing it.

  • The Ashes Fly

    The Ashes Fly

    Once I began working with analog photography, I gave my work a sense of pursuit. Everything I photographed became a constant questioning of belonging, identity, and the simple act of existing and “being.”

  • Now the Rain Has Gone

    Now the Rain Has Gone

    I’ve done some close-up (almost abstract) work of pinball machines using extension tubes, some macro work of sea shell fragments — average of about 4mm in size and printed out really big. Amazing.
