I choose projects that align with my core values of justice, sustainability, education, and harmony. If a project doesn’t ignite curiosity, inspire dialogue, or contribute to a more thoughtful world, it isn’t mine to tell.
“Hook”
Punta Lobos, Todos Santos, Baja California Sur (Nov 2025)
"Hook" is an ethnographic exercise that explores the lives of the fishermen of the Punta Lobos and Todos Santos cooperatives — an ecosystem that shaped my childhood and adolescence.
Fishing is more than just a trade; it is a bond between generations, a hook that draws in those seeking a life connected to the sea.
Since ancient times, the fishing hook has symbolized skill, patience, and the daily struggle for sustenance. In my personal story, fishing is a legacy: my father, a tuna boat fisherman and maritime engineer, and my mother, a quality manager at a tuna processing plant in Pichilingue, met among nets and tides.
Through this photographic series, I captured the beauty, the hardship, and the wisdom that the sea bestows upon those who inhabit it. Hook is an invitation to take a closer look at this world, where time is measured in tides and each day is a lesson in life.
“Butterfly classroom”
Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico 2025
"Butterfly classroom" is a project born from the tireless dedication of teacher Celia, who, after retiring from teaching in Mexico City, encountered a reality in Los Cabos that she could not ignore: a settlement without access to basic education. In response, she founded the ‘Todo por la Niñez Community Center’, a space that now not only educates children but also supports adults seeking new opportunities.
Her latest initiative, ‘Butterfly Classroom’, is dedicated to the mothers of the students, offering them vocational workshops to strengthen their economic independence. In an environment where inequality and luxury coexist (Los Cabos, B.C.S.), this project stands as an act of resistance and transformation—a network of learning and support that, like butterflies, symbolizes rebirth and the ability to soar toward a future with greater possibilities.
Methods – The Path to Follow
San Agustín, Etla, Oaxaca (Nov 2024)
"Methods – The Path to Follow" is a photographic project captured in San Agustín, Etla, Oaxaca, in November 2024. Inspired by the Greek etymology of Metá (beyond) and Hodós (path), this series portrays the muerteadas—celebrations where figures such as devils, spiritists, and magician-wrestlers guide the dead back to the world of the living.
My first encounter with this tradition came during an unexpected trip to Etla, when a shared taxi driver told me about building his home and his role as a Spiritist in the festival. His words resonated with my own search for belonging. Through these images, I document the syncretism and theatricality of a tradition where life and death intertwine in a vibrant dance of identity, faith, and community.
