Weave ties and affection in a land plagued by violence and pain.

I grew up in a family environment where domestic violence is one of the most marked circumstances in my life, the same setback that has made me constantly migrate. Through photography, I explore these events. I return home to find pending issues, I use fiction to try to understand and assimilate the psychological density of my environment generated by "private violence".

When the male presence disappears from the home, there is a fracture; The women of my family are slowly unraveling the teachings of submission and machismo that for years were affected, they appropriate their bodies trying to reconfigure their identity and that of the rest of the family. It is transformed into a matriarchal space surrounded by liturgy and Catholic rituals.

The body becomes that territory that allows me to understand the events in which we are involved as members of a clan.

I create an accumulation of actions in which the photographic act unleashes the complexity of the relations between the members of my family, helping me to weave ties and affection in a land plagued by violence and pain.

This process allows me to build a present to find a place in the world as a person and to reflect in a deeper way on the human condition, emotions and especially the hostile time in which we live.
