In this work, I merge contemporary portraiture with the architectural concepts of Luis Barragán, which have been a fundamental inspiration in my artistic pursuit: a constant exploration of the enigma of consciousness, the human spirit, and the complexity of our vital energy.
Research phase: Revisiting childhood memories of volcanic rock gardens in "Jardines Del Pedregal", designed by Luis Barragán.

Production phase: Highlighting the importance of collaborating with a partner like LAPIM photo lab, whose craftsmanship helps me to push the boundaries of traditional photography.
In the processes and materiality explored at Lou Peralta's studio, we are incorporating ancient techniques of gold leaf application, among others.
