Nature is mesmerizing, even in most common objects such as droplets. Here I share some of my projects that try to capture this hidden beauty and complexity.
Latente (NAO Colective, with Aiess Alonso and Iván Rasgado)
The rapid loss of glacial ice is happening faster and earlier than expected. Due to local climate fluctuations and global warming, the remaining glaciers on Citlaltépetl (Pico de Orizaba) in Mexico are at risk of disappearing. Glaciers are vital, as the rivers flowing through Veracruz originate from this peak, the highest in the country at 5,636 meters above sea level, and reach the Gulf of Mexico.
Their disappearance would have numerous adverse effects, particularly impacting water supplies for plants, animals, and communities. This would lead to drastic environmental, socio-economic, and political changes.
"Latente" is a visual examination of ice melting and freezing, exploring the possibility of reversing glacial ice loss. The project collect samples and record ambient sounds from different bodies of water in Veracruz, categorized by their altitudes and ecosystems. Using microscopy and audiovisual techniques, it will observe and capture the real-time melting and freezing processes of ice.
The project confronts viewers with the reality of climate change, challenging them to rethink how we interpret vast time scales and understand the crisis. It urges humanity to act, reminding us that while human activity is contributing to climate change, there is still time to alter our course.
Oil diffusion in water (with Jonatan Castillo Herrera)
These photographs capture the haunting beauty and environmental threat of oil pollution in water. Oil spreads invisibly across water surfaces, sometimes forming iridescent patterns that reveal themselves only at the microscopic level. This iridescence, a rainbow-like shimmer produced by light interference, speaks to the thin, tenacious layers of oil that persist, clinging to water molecules and defying easy dispersal. Each iridescent glow and subtle hue carry a reminder of how pollution interacts silently with aquatic environments, slipping past the naked eye yet altering ecosystems in ways both immediate and enduring. By examining these patterns up close, the images reveal the resilience of oil as a pollutant, lingering in water and impacting life forms from microorganisms to larger species, symbolizing the complex yet often overlooked threat that oil pollution poses to natural water systems
