The island and its reflection
Cuba (2020-in process)
Exhibited at the Valparaíso International Photography Festival (2021)
I grew up in a nuns' school and during all those years my spirituality was crossed by the church. When five years ago I decided to stay and live in Cuba, I was fascinated by the religious diversity. I began this project with a traditional approach, documenting ceremonies and investigating female spirituality and its forms of expression linked to identity and memory. However, the changing point came when I turned the camera towards me, and began to ask myself where this fascination came from and how these women rituals could help me to connect with my own history.
