ARTISTIC & RESEARCH PRACTICE

Through photography, collage and image-based research, my work explores migration, displacement, fragmentation and the politics of belonging. Drawing from documentary processes, travel and spatial observation, I investigate how territory, memory and identity are shaped across diverse social and cultural landscapes.

My visual work has been exhibited across Latin America and Europe, including more than 30 documentary photographic essays and recent collage-based exhibitions in Barcelona.
