INSPIRED BY

This is a collection of images, places, objects, and moments that have stayed with me. Some eventually become artwork, while others simply remain references that remind me to keep looking.

Cincinnati, also known as the Queen City, has this unique charm—it's a small big city, with a cluster of sleek, towering buildings right in the heart of downtown.

Cincinnati became home after I moved to the United States, and over time I began exploring it in much the same way I had explored Oaxaca. Its hills, neighborhoods, architecture, river, parks, and small details gradually became part of my own visual vocabulary.

MT LOOKOUT OBSERVATORY

Living near the Cincinnati Observatory made it one of the first local landmarks I became attached to. The architecture, the telescopes, and the idea of looking outward into a scale much larger than ourselves brought together several things I have always been interested in: structure, space, science, and imagination.

I began creating images around familiar Cincinnati landmarks and places that people here immediately recognize. The series became less about documenting the city literally and more about translating those places through shape, pattern, color, and my own experience of living here.

Nature has always influenced the way I think visually. I’m fascinated by repetition, growth, groups of organisms, particles, movement, and the way simple behaviors can create something much larger and more complex when viewed at another scale.

Sunshine

Ornithogalum dubium, common names sun star or star of Bethlehem, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. It is a South African (Cape Province) endemic.

FOR THE REST OF

I keep coming back to the idea that if something genuinely interests you, there is no reason to stop exploring it. The subject may remain the same, but your perspective, tools, experiences, and understanding continue to change, so there is always another way to look at it.
