The woman who does not Fit/ Self Portrait

This is my most personal project, it started in 2014 with my first camera in Havana and it is still in process. When I started taking pictures of myself, I never even thought about showing, acting and photographing myself, self-representation, it was a relief that helped me understand what I was going through at that time. While I was going to the camera as a resource, I was giving up to continue with my acting career, (my professional training), I faced the difficulty of immigrating to Mexico, integrating to that country looking for my way and facing severe depression.The camera, photography always saved me.

By becoming an immigrant and changing my point of reference, I was able to have a deeper vision of society, reflect on the enormous chaos that surrounds us, the uncertainty of each step and the immense effort we make to convince ourselves that everything is in order. In this series of self-portraits I explore several of the feelings provoked by this reflection: sentimental relationship, loneliness, identity, melancholy, the need for social alignment and of course rebellion.

The social fragility that I have as a woman increases my sense of rebellion at the same time that I struggle with the social imperative, marked in me, that induces me to "fit in." This is a series in process that began 6 years ago and that goes hand by hand with the social changes (or not) that we, as a society achieve.
