Statement
From the beginning, I have been interested in the artisanal work inside and outside the analog lab. The first step is to research, study, search for and collect materials, review archives, or take photographs with different analog cameras. The second step is when the lab becomes the creative space, where all the necessary elements are laid out to assemble and disassemble, transform, build collages, recreate small scenes, photo albums, frames, and supports. Everything that can be discarded or forgotten adds to the creation of new projects. My focus is on simple, everyday experiences, images that highlight the insignificant, the invisible. I try to create an intimate atmosphere to discover what lies behind them.
