The man with the gray suitcase
The man with the gray suitcase" emerges as an intimate exploration, triggered by the breakdown of a romantic relationship. Amid the pressure of not wanting to stay at home, I chose to distance myself from my household by requesting the agency I used to work for to assign me away from my familiar environment. Fortunately, my close relationship with the company allowed me to embark on a journey in search of the meaning of my existence and the reconnection with my pre-marriage self.
Throughout various journeys between Mexico and the United States, I managed to regain my self-esteem, confidence, and rediscover love, while also expanding the boundaries of my imagination by materializing images that previously existed only in my mind.
However, with the onset of the pandemic, I found myself compelled to create my own landscapes and journeys. It is here where creativity becomes crucial to continue producing, merging studio photographs with natural environments, giving rise to conceptual and surrealistic works.
"The man with the gray suitcase" stands as a window to my past six years, where artificial light intertwines with natural light, where the real merges with the fantastical, and where the absurd engages in dialogue with the rational. It is a universe where fantasy takes on a real appearance, and reality, an unreal dimension. And you, when do you decide to embark on your own journey?
