Mexican photographer based in Mexico City.
There has been a connection between my work and the aspects of personal growth. Curiosity and perspective have had a huge impact on my self knowledge which now continues to evolve as an expression.
A contemplative connection to the world, striving to capture the immaculate state of sceneries, where the interplay of ever-changing natural light, and the crucial role of shadows, which become essential in shaping the depth of the compositions. Shadow and light are deeply intertwined with the passage of time and construction of our memories. They serve as powerful symbols for understanding the impermanence of existence and the way we perceive, recall, and reflect on our past experiences.
Shadows are a visual manifestation of time passing, they lengthen, shorten, and shift.
Just as we examine our memories, the interaction of light and shadow can reveal layers of understanding and depth in our own participation, as we navigate the complex networking of past, present, and future. Reinforcing the idea that nothing remains static, becoming aware that time is actually theoretical and all moments eventually give way to the next. Playing with these subjects allows the viewers to not only see but feel these transitions and its impact on us.
