Artist's Statement
The tragedy of September 11 made a strong mark in the lives of all the people of this country, it could be said that it has imprinted strongly for many and for others not as much. The common denominator is that this tragedy will stay in our memories for the rest of our lives. This is why I wish to present these works of photography as an artistic expression in which thought, sentiments, and life are brought together to experience in result images of dreams, poems, surrealism, and reality projected in the colors of these photographs.
As one walks through the surrounding of this place, the scenery of the tragedy , one can capture these images that are mix in the camera giving as a result an invisible world” Life after Life” is the title of this series of pictures , which leaves an open door for the observer.
