This series takes as a starting point a poem to create a photographic narrative based on the free interpretation of the text. The (re) presented story aims to make a transition between the real and a dreamlike world, creating surreal atmospheres in a game between reality, nightmare
and desire. The protagonists of the story intermingle with mannequins in a kind of psychological introspection, where the dark side of the unconscious through haunting scenes that suggest more questions than answers.
They show the vulnerability of the human being, wrapped in states plagued with ambiguity. The images in this series explore the experience of the intimate through the staging of dreams. Finally the story remains as an open story that the viewer can close, projecting your own vision to create possible outcomes for a narrative that resists resolution.
