"Once it bursts into the air, nothing dies"

“Once it bursts into the air, nothing dies” (Nada Muere una vez que entra en el aire) is a reconnection with nature and memories through the contemplation of the moment, while myths and folk stories from the Peruvian forest are the background of this whole experience in a town called Oxapampa. "Once it bursts into the air, nothing dies" was born from becoming a witness in the interaction between nature and individuals who are an important part of my life. I've been documenting the everyday lives of my twin nieces and nephew who live in the tropical highlands in Peru, in a town called Oxapampa. The relationship they had nurtured with their surroundings is quite unique and I've been able to document it through the years. They were the ones who helped me uncover a part of me that was longing to be awakened, to feel again, to explore and interact with everything around me. What started as portraits of them and landscapes had evolved into a personal interweave of senses, presence, life and a profound understanding of my place here and intuit I am a fragment of something vast and infinite . Nature has been a link to connect to memory and see how we can comprehend life through its unique order and timing . The tropical highlands in this part of Peru had been humble and let me have a glimpse of that magical part of the forest, its folktales and myths which add another layer to this experience.
