PERSONAL PROJECTS

In 1998, my photography career took a pivotal turn. After a decade in journalism and teaching, I spent six months reviewing my personal photographic archive. This led to my first solo exhibition, emphasizing identity, modernity, and nation, setting the stage for independent personal photography. Projects like Pasaporte para un Artista, Retratos Callejeros and Illa Persistencia Vital, falllowed.
