Hybrid photographic project that explores the feminine power of my people by disrupting my own masculinity.
Hybrid photography project, born and focused on the interaction with sorceresses and healing women's who have lived with me throughout my life, all of them have changed my way of perceiving and understanding the world.
This photographic process is conceptualized through the manual intervention of portraits, the creation and registration of domestic and peasant rituals that are intertwined with popular mythology, medicine and botanical wisdom of women's work; researching in the Museum of Mayan Medicine and making use of the empirical knowledge of the healing legacy of women in my family, in my town: San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas. Mexico
In turn, this process serves as a tool to create an ancestral system in connection with different planes of reality and, at the same time, becomes a profound gesture of my own spiritual search and self-discovery, transforming my perception as a man and reconfiguring my masculinity within a universe of female empowerment.
