Emerge , 2024

To emerge became water.  Emerge is a river that little by little shapes the rocks. And someone once said to me that a drop does not break a stone because of its strength but because of its perseverance. 
 
But can’t perseverance be synonymous of strength?  Maybe not literally but because of its values. Emerge are people that finds its place in the present, emerge is a blank page that finally receives some first words. Time writes on the skin. An echo of rebirth that never stops growing.  An unstoppable hex. 
 
Emerge feels the hexes of the human, accepting each wrinkle, fold or texture with a subtle and delicate way that seeks to reconnect with our essence thorough the elements of water, as symbol of fluidity, renewal, and vitality.  
 
My approach is inspired by the work of artists such as Arno Rafael Minkkinen, whose conceptual photographs fuse the body with its natural surroundings, creating a symbiosis that shows vulnerability and strength at the same time.
