Statement
Through the drift and the ever-present feeling of uprooting, in the action of photographing I find freedom. A place where for a moment live other lives. The contemplative rhythm of large format photography allows me to pause to reflect on my own identity and inquire about the way in which the territory shapes us as individuals and as a community. As if it were a conversation: in what way it shapes who inhabits it and the mark they leave on it.

A través da deriva e o sempre presente sentimiento de desarraigamento, na acción de fotografar atopo liberdade. Un lugar onde por un momento vivir outras vidas. O ritmo contemplativo da fotografía química de gran formato permíteme determe a reflexionar sobre a miña propia identidade e indagar acerca da maneira na que o territorio nos moldea como individuos e comunidade. Coma se fose unha conversa: de que maneira condiciona a quen o habita e a pegada estos deixan nela.
