Days 2020 | Moments of stillness, moments of silence, lights like flashes, time without time, reality suspended. Fears. Is this a nightmare?
Uncertainty.
Nothing.

 The images evoke moments and sensations from the days that I lived with my children during the quarantine decreed in Argentina on March 20, 2020, for almost 8 months. It was a time of deep sensitivity full of fears and insecurities. Those days I embraced photography like a medium to canalize all those confused feelings, all the surrounding little things caught my attention and of course I saw how son and baby grow up inside home and me with them.

I’m an Argentine photographer, currently living in Buenos Aires, who more than dedicate myself to photography I am interested in the image in a broad sense, as a language. In my works, the sociocultural, collective and individual memory prevail. Through the images I seek to build the story, many times I start a series without being clear about where I want to go, I let myself be carried away by intuition and embrace the different ways of being of the images through experimentation.

My nature is dual, in it introspection and extrospection coexist. The image is a means to know and rethink my personal history, through it I write my identity, I observe myself. Also, through it I reconstruct social history and connect with other existences, especially through portraits. The act of photographing becomes full when it is felt in the body, when "something" makes it vibrate.
