A self to keep

A Self to Keep is a project that serves as a testimony to a transition from an idealized perception of reality to a more immediate and experiential relationship with it.

Staged photography takes on a new intention: shifting from the construction of imaginary worlds to the acceptance of authenticity and the coexistence with contradictions and imperfections of reality. Its predetermined nature, combined with the self-exploratory character of the project, brought to the forefront a sense of detachment that emerged from constructing realities rooted in my own mind. This led me to seek something more real, more sensory. This approach seeks greater proximity to experience and a more human, sensory connection—an artistic path that draws from the honesty and immediacy of documentary photography.

Identity is not fixed; it transforms, embracing fluidity and change.

Recognizing the transience of time lays the groundwork for a longed-for transformation.
