Affective Landscapes
(2018-2019)

Photography.

Through Affective Landscapes, I turn my lens inward, delving into the interiors of my own family’s homes to uncover the connections, patterns, and shared experiences that resonate between the spaces I have photographed over the years and those that shape my family’s daily life. In this exploration, I seek to reveal the parallels and recurring motifs that intertwine these domestic environments.

This project is the result of over 15 years of work documenting self-built settlements in Tijuana and the homes of immigrant families across the United States. Grounded in a meticulous attention to detail, it examines how the careful arrangement and coexistence of objects within these spaces act as a lens through which we can explore the social, economic, and cultural realities of those who inhabit them. These homes serve as poignant reflections of the social, economic, and cultural conditions experienced by those of us living in this border city.

Project realized with the support of Young Creators Grant, National Endowment for the Arts, Mexico
