Soledad 2 2020

During Covid I created a series portraying different feelings and emotional tension that was happening in the citizens of Mexico City

Oscar Hagerman (my uncle) is a renowned architect, teacher and artist that now because of his age had to retire and lives in a small house he built for his late son with very limited movement.
I call this series people are places, places are people. Exploring the relation between ourselves and our living areas

I create passive-aggressive photography. Through portraying the natural strength
of things and their structures, I try to reach that point in which form becomes a document
and essence turns into an abstract kind of language. My photos are emotional prompts.
To me, composition has a lot to do with narrative. In all my work
there is a suggested untold story that plays as a silent trigger for the engagement
of sense and visual appropriation. Textures, volumes, and every single element that
I present is committed to this intention.
I was born in Mexico City in 1983. I come from an art-loving family and as far as I can
remember I’ve always been a compulsive observer. It was in LA that I became a photographer.
Later, I moved to New York where I worked side by side with several important photographers
and artists. Today I live by my work completely and are always in search for creative development.
