The most negative aspects of it predominate, such as dissociation, resentment, nostalgia, regret. These sensations make the individual monsterroidal, deformed in his expressions almost prey to an obsession, or to a dazed and distorted dream.The road almost always, or phytomorphic elements, are the background, wanting to be a way to alleviate or accentuate these aspects.

The photos are mainly taken from the street, a diary of signs, objects and places found by chance but which tell of a past experience, abandoned in solitary street corners. As well as the sculptures obtained from crocheting, embroidery, consisting of scraps of fabric found in flea markets or made from old lived-in clothes and then thrown away.  Everything has its own meaning, a previous life, a past to tell
