"Ebbs and Flows"
To move the body is to speak, to release, to remember, to transform. I think of dance as a language deeply rooted in Latin culture, where storytelling lives through rhythm, gesture, and presence. It is a way energy passes through the body, carrying histories that are felt as much as they are remembered.
My work begins with the belief that the body holds more than just the present moment. It carries lineage, shaped by the women who came before us, by their strength, their silence, their movement. We are made up of these inherited stories, held within us as energy in constant motion.
Photography allows me to pause and witness this flow. I use it to explore the relationship between the physical body and the unseen forces that guide it, how identity is formed through memory, culture, and time. I am drawn to the idea that our essence does not end with the body, but transforms—continuing beyond the physical as energy and light.
In this work, the body becomes both archive and vessel. Each movement is not only personal, but ancestral, an echo of what has been carried forward.
What lives within us is not singular. It is layered, inherited, and in motion, shaping who we are and what we leave behind.
