︎
I am a research-based photographer living and working between Spain and Colombia. In my work I delve into the politics of identity, connecting my own experience of navigating between both cultural realities with other voices. Through the use of images I establish new forms of collaboration and knowledge production that reveal forgotten colonial legacies and question the impacts of collective memory an cultural heritage on identity.
My work also interrogates colonial legacies linked to the natural world, our national identities rooted in nature, and the relationships between human and non-human species. Adopting a multispecies perspective, I question anthropocentric perspectives and the extractivist dynamics that shape the ecosystems. I examine the material and political complexities of colonial agency developing counter narratives of power and identity.
