I like to get away from everyone and be in harmony with my photography.

As a girl who loves to keep memories and document moments, photography was the method that was closest to my heart. I have loved it since childhood. Whenever I wore an outfit I liked, I would go to my mom and ask her to take a picture of me. I would also steal her phone without her noticing to take lots of pictures of anything in the house. Then I would ask her to show the photos to my siblings and neighbours too, because I thought I was doing miracles when I photographed. I had this hobby since I was a child. I grew up and this hobby and my love for photography grew with me.

Most of the time I go out on the road for a walk. There are many things on my way that can catch my attention, and there are also details that catch my eye. I am attracted to photograph it and keep them to remember them always. I took pictures of the roads I walk every day. The neighbourhood where I live, from all angles; like the door of the building, my way to the street, from the balcony… I also took pictures of the sky, because I feel very comfortable when I look at it during the day and at night. Believe me, these roads mean a lot to me. I grew up here in this neighbourhood and in this house. For 12 years I have not left these roads. For me they were and still are very meaningful.
