What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?
I work on a zine, where I combine photography with thoughts.
What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
To connect with words. Photography has been there for me since I was a child, but words have been harder for me to capture, and especially to share.
What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?
Tenderness, grief, nostalgia for the past, for the past and for what didn't happen.
Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
listen to Silvana Estrada, her lyrics, her music, her voice—it's magic. It's a kind of magic that invites you to create, that invites you to feel.
What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?
The exhibition. When I first shared my work with my people, it was such an act of vulnerability. Being seen through a different lens.
What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
I've been living outside of Mexico for almost 10 years. You have to take me to any taqueria and I'll be in charge of ordering as many al pastor tacos as necessary.
If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
Without saying anything else, Daniela Pes, a Sardinian singer who sings in a mixture of Sardinian and an invented language: what's better than not understanding, just feeling.

Speaking of photography: Rinko Kawauchi. Discovering her was a breath of fresh air and inspiration, a push to create differently, from simplicity.
I'm a Mexican photographer living in Switzerland. My work explores contrasts: what is and what isn't, what moves and what remains, what's sharp and what's out of focus.
