Fortuitous Witness, Mexico, 2025.
Fortuitous Witness focuses on those moments that, although they make up the bulk of our lives, remain absent from the stories we tell about ourselves. The series concentrates on ordinary situations that quietly occupy most of our time. Rendered in bold color, these moments resist being erased from memory and regain a presence that memory tends to take from them. Each photograph isolates one of these fragments of daily life. The people who appear in them are deliberately anonymous; their identity fades in favor of the situation they are experiencing, leaving the viewer free to recognize in the image an experience of their own. A discreet witness accompanies each of these scenes. They are neither the subject nor the narrator. They simply share a moment that, without their gaze — and without the viewer’s — would likely have gone unnoticed. Through Fortuitous Witness, photography becomes less a way to preserve the past than a means of paying attention to what composes it.
Fortuitous Witness s'intéresse à ces instants qui, bien qu'ils constituent l'essentiel de nos existences, demeurent absents des récits que nous faisons de nous-mêmes. La série se concentre sur des situations ordinaires qui occupent silencieusement la majeure partie de nos vies. Restitués en couleurs affirmées, ces instants résistent à l'effacement du souvenir et retrouvent une présence que la mémoire tend à leur retirer. Chaque photographie isole l'un de ces fragments de quotidien. Les personnes qui y apparaissent demeurent volontairement anonymes; leur identité s'efface au profit de la situation qu'elles traversent, laissant au spectateur la liberté de reconnaître, dans l'image, une expérience qui lui est propre. Un témoin discret accompagne chacune de ces scènes. Il n'en est ni le sujet ni le narrateur. Il partage simplement un instant qui, sans son regard — et sans celui du spectateur — serait probablement resté inaperçu. À travers Fortuitous Witness, la photographie devient moins un moyen de conserver le passé qu'une manière de porter attention à ce qui le compose.

Nouveau Chapitre (New Chapter), Mexico, 2022.
Nouveau Chapitre explores the process of reconnecting with the body after periods of physical and emotional transformation. Through carefully constructed images, color and movement become expressions of renewal, tracing a gradual passage from vulnerability toward acceptance.
Rather than depicting a final state of healing, the series embraces self-discovery as an ongoing process, where the body is no longer experienced as something unfamiliar, but as a place to inhabit with confidence, sensuality, and care.

Honorable mention, BIFA Budapest Photo Awards, Budapest, 2022.
Overlay, New Zealand, 2015 remastered 2020.
Overlay explores identity as a surface shaped by the environments we inhabit and the experiences we carry. Through a series of self-portraits, layers of paint become a metaphor for the places and cultures that have shaped my identity over time.
Rather than depicting a fixed identity, the series embraces its continual transformation. Layer by layer, the painted body reveals the lasting traces of the places and cultures that have shaped my experiences, suggesting that identity emerges through accumulation, constantly evolving.
