Look at Me, No My Mess

It is a difficult journey when you want to be on your feet but you just can´t stand. It is a difficult path when you live so long under the ground, but your dreams die in the moment you try. It is a difficult time when you think you will be so strong, but you are as weak as you never thought. It is a difficult moment when you look around and all you have is a mess. These images were made with a lot of cicadas that I took during the summer from the trees. The cicadaseventeen years under the ground, before they rise to the surface, climb on the trees, sing, mate, shed their skin, and die.

Bio
I am an electromechanical engineer, married and a mother of three. In 2015, I began my studies in photography and realized that this was my true passion. Little by little, I left my former job to devote myself completely to photography. Now I am a fine arts photographer who uses photoshop to create the emotions I feel inside and want to share. Most of my images are self portraits because I want to make my body move as my mind imagines the subject. A lot of my work was born from the sensitivity I developed during my father´s disease.
