The Atypical

​

These images are meant to engage the viewer in a conversation about physical and emotional spaces where geometric shapes and forms define the sociocultural anthropology of urban architecture, spaces, and things.

​

The nostalgia for the city is communicated via the image through post-processing, changing the real colors with abstract hues, forming part of the same visual language that comes before our eyes in each photograph. I risk revealing the result of exploratory work, not only taking into account the technique used but also its relationship

with the creative process and the treasured reality of my life.
