La diáspora es feroz. November 2017. Las montañas de mi ciudad natal me arrullan en mi mente... la nostalgia del pasado se fusiona con el desafío del futuro. Me recuerdo que solo las historias emocionantes son recordadas... Y viajo, como empaquetada con aquello que me es más íntimo. The diaspora is ferocious.

I remind myself that only the exciting stories are remembered... and thus I travel, packed with my most intimate things.

Credo

Credo 1. Credo & Quietus, my newest work.There is a story which accompanies the images and gives it context. It is about a pair of twins, Credo & Quietus, born in Lima in 1846, and dedicated at birth to the Senor de los Milagros. One identifies with Faith, the other, Fear.
