Acorazadas means Armoured with the female suffix (in Spanish). It refers to an ongoing investigation on a second skin or layer to protect ourselves from the exterior world, present in all my latests projects.

By using extracts of photographs from old magazines and publications I focus in Nature as a refuge in the context of pandemics, climate change and a harsh environmental crisis. As the Pangolin was believed to be a carrier species for Covid, I look at his own armour and think of these ideas of biodiversity being our shelter. Zoonoses is cause by trafficking, consuming and destroying the habitat of those animals … The forest we take down is the barrier that protect us, its diversity absorbs these viruses…
I place myself in the image, using self-portraits to become part of these organism thinking of a time in the past or on a possible future where we were one with our surrounding, all life, without an environment and a human outside of it.
