This series began as a family photo album. After my first few trips as a photographer, I wanted to start telling more of the story. It is now my attempt to document every place and person in the town, in the most honest, undisturbed way.

Cielo Azul / Cielo Nublado is a poignant memoir, a heartfelt narrative that intertwines the threads of my annual pilgrimages to my ancestral pueblito, El Porvenir, in Zacatecas, México. Working and living in a dichotomy between two homelands, my photographs bridge the physical and spiritual chasm that separates me from my familial roots, offering a tender glimpse into the lives of loved ones I cherish during the brief weeks we're reunited each year. In Cielo Azul / Cielo Nublado, I delve into the concept of eternal homecoming, exploring the complex dance of identity, love, and longing. My chronicle of El Porvenir, poetically translating to "What Is To Come," constitutes a seminal chapter in my artistic jour. Cielo Azul / Cielo Nublado waters my roots, affirming that comprehending one's origins is the compass that guides us toward our destiny.
