]]> The project aims to focus on the contrast between physical and the digital photographic media. It explores how our relationship with images has been transformed since they became ubiquitous, volatile and temporary, and were no longer experienced as physical entities. Millions of photographs are generated every day as a means of mass communication but these photographs are disposable and almost immediately out of date, while we drown in an ocean of images.

Using animation and video postproduction enables me to develop a space-time discourse and brings the photographs back to a specific moment in the present. The aesthetic discourse centres on the physical attributes and organic nature of the support; this is why the effects of time on the degradation, disappearance and transformation of matter are articulated through metaphors, and visual and poetic games.

]]> The image of women has been used and molded to the taste of the societies and historical events of each era generating visual codes and stereotypes: the working woman, the mother, the housewife, the muse, the sexual object, etcetera. These models have been filtered in one way or another from strata of masculine power that have used them, introducing at the same time different norms of ethical and moral behavior, assigning functions and specific spaces. The utility of women was thus subjugated to the service of man and family without promoting their autonomy and personal growth as an individual.
