Statement
Nature is my source of motivation to make series where I can go deeper until I can create, with the images, my universes. I photograph with my soul and my intuition. Then, full of ideas, images, sensations, and silences, I select from the collected material and try to create a unique place where others can enter and navigate with me.
In Paris, where I live, I spent days looking at the photographs taken, and they always gave me a feeling of protection and procreation. Always, in them, mother nature appeared, powerful and beautiful, weaving each one differently, with its form and its specific existence. These are the ideas and feelings behind my project Weaving in Silence.
