Sur: A Journey Through Intangible Landscapes

Sur: A Journey Through Intangible Landscapes is a living body of work born from my ongoing dialogue with Argentina—its land, its people, and its layered histories. Over years of returning to the province of Santa Fe and beyond, I have explored how landscapes intertwine with memory, shaping a cultural identity that is both delicate and enduring.

Through staged portraits and landscapes, I uncover the emotions, silences, and stories embedded within place. Each image serves as an intimate yet open vignette, contributing to a broader narrative that moves between reality and imagination. I use film lighting, production design, and medium-format photography to construct scenes that blur fact and fiction.

At the same time, Sur is profoundly personal. As a Puerto Rican artist shaped by cycles of departure and return, my perspective informs a search for resonance within Argentina’s stories and landscapes. Undercurrents of urban transformation, displacement, belonging, and social tension flow through the series, weaving the tangible with the intangible to invite viewers into a contemplative journey—where photography becomes both discovery and reconstruction of memory.
