I feel that I cannot photograph anything that I don’t feel related to, so I remain attentive to the type of vibration in which I can recognize myself. From the beginning, photography has been deeply connected with evasion, with that need to separate myself from the world I was in. Maybe that's why it has always been linked to movement, accompanying me in my escapes and functioning as an escape valve. First as a companion of writing, and then occupying more and more space, until it became the main vector of the narrative.
From this need to escape, trips emerged. In my evasion, I went far, far away, crossing other continents, inhabiting places with languages other than my own, exiling myself voluntarily. In the desert, for example, solitude is so pure that it admits no excuses.
The camera was always there, like a silent witness, documenting not only what was happening outside, but also what was happening inside. Because when I take pictures, I become a mirror, yes, but the reflections that I project are also rooted in my guts.
Photography, writing, and fanzine publishing have been the media that have portrayed my search for a home, a place and a time from which I no longer want to escape.
