La Limpia Project was inspired by what I have learned about Afromestizo women’s conceptualization of illness and their rituals related to healing. In this series, my body is the location of the rituals, and my photographs include the ritual objects and symbols the women use in their traditional practices. La Sombra Series refers to the traditional Afromestizo belief that illnesses and instances of spiritual disharmony and disequilibrium occur when an aspect of an individual called La Sombra, (also known as the soul, or shadow) becomes lost or endangered. The images also represent my musings about the symbols that represent the feminine archetype. La Costa Chica Series includes images I made in the Afromestizo community of Juchitan, in the state of Guerrero, Mexico." Website: |
