My artistic practice is rooted in photography, a medium that functions as a bridge between the analytical and the ethereal. By capturing the intersection of mathematical structure and human whimsy, I create tangible narratives that offer both the viewer and myself a sense of grounded peace
Where do you find inspiration?Rooted in my Cuban heritage, my work explores the intersection of time and adaptation. I am drawn to the beauty of decay and the quiet power of simple moments—a flower, a car, a neighbor on her porch. Through my lens, I strive to capture not just a visual subject, but the feeling of being present in that specific frame of time.
