I think of my body of work as a photographic dialectic between our past and present through architecture and landscape. A territory identity is constructed over time through architecture and landscape modifications to communicate who the region, country or city is and its distinctiveness.

Often referencing European history, my work explores the varying relationships between forms, geometries and composition that shape the places where we live. My compositions are usually frontal, geometrical, from certain distance, assuming a neutral position. Historical memory and disappearance are issues that are always present in my photos. Although there may not always be material similarities between the different projects they are linked by recurring formal concerns and through the subject matter.
