The Series of Oblivion.

Abstract

The Series of Oblivion is an experimental photographic series that explores the emotional impact and intimate meaning of Oblivion, inquiring into existence and memory through the lens. The photographs in this series portray the anguish and emptiness that accompany the loss of the quality of being present; exploring the duality between nostalgia and memory, despair and joy, and the internal struggle between the past and the present. These photographs are presented as allegories of Oblivion, and address themes such as the passage of time, oblivion, recollection and memory.

Memories

Abstract

This set of abstract photography is a project of photographic experimentation that explores the relationship between form, light, environment, and multiple exposures. This series of exercises invites the viewer to view the image as a symbolic construction, where the combination of elements in time and space creates a unique experience. The images are composed of a series of simple objects, each with its own unique personality, which are combined to form a peculiar narrative. This narrative, woven with light and shadow, gives life to these forms and environments, creating a world of emotions, memories, and poetry.
