I am a freelance photographer and writer from Colombia. After many years abroad in Australia, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Brasil, I'm back in Colombia, documenting the magical realism of this crazy, beautiful country.

Collages: Una Vida Creativa
Estos collages digitales fueron inspirados por el taller Una Vida Creativa por Carolina Chavate (@carolinachavate) en El Open Space en Medellín el 12 de mayo de 2022. Las líneas de los poemas son ajenas igual que la mayoría de las imágenes cortadas. Las fotografías son mías. Arte Digital

Thirty-Five
I always thought I’d be dead by thirty-five. I don’t know where this fixation came from, what triggered it, or why I believed it, but the imagined certainty that I wouldn’t live to see forty defined my 20s and early 30s in a very real way. My friends in university would tell me to stop… Continue reading Thirty-Five

But ever since I left Colombia (again) in August, things haven't been exactly going to plan (in a good way) and I've been relearning how to embrace the unexpected. That's how I ended up on… Continue reading My Nomadic Life: If I can Make it There…
