Statement
I have a genuine interest in investigating the spaces that show the resistance of nature to the intervention of the human being and what we decided to delimit certain areas of the earth's surface as our own place. Also how we preserve, display and educate future generations the patterns of our historical behavior on the planet.
I seek to capture in my images a celebration of integrity, endurance, the rebellion of life; as well as the traces left by evolution and the passage of time. These concerns revolve around the modern human being and his relationship with nature. In my images, what remains as evidence of this essential link are the traces on the territory.
