Fragments
This week I ended up revisiting the images from this photo shoot as I prepared to mint them as NFTs for an event happening on the Objkt platform. I have been participating in every edition of this event every year since I entered the NFT space, and it was such a pleasant surprise to rediscover these photos, especially the one I used as the cover image for this post, and the last one in particular.
Lately I have been completely obsessed with out-of-focus photos, with that intentional blur. I find them darker, more mysterious, more ethereal, and they grab my attention entirely. I love that I created images like this back then, and that I still have the chance to keep going, to keep creating.
When I did this shoot, I was experimenting. I was ten years younger than I am today, a young dreamer trying out new techniques to portray femininity in a different light. I hope you enjoy them, they are my entry for today’s #Monomad contest.
Me encantan estas fotos, facilmente las podría tener en la sala de mi casa enmarcadas , saludos
Me hace muy feliz leer eso. Sí, vendo prints de estas fotos — si te gustaría tener una en casa, podemos hablar por aquí
My favourites are 1 and 4. Applause for such an interesting game you have achieved.
So glad you enjoyed it! 1 and 4 are special to me too. Thanks for the kind words and for playing along!
Hi I like your series, I would like to know your intention. I see that you want to convey some problem with identity or with reality, looking through a glass that distorts it, like hiding or escaping. The blur depersonalizes you, it hides you. You disappear. I would like to know your criteria. As someone said in the comments this series could be exhibited or framed without any problem. Congratulations
Thank you so much for your thoughtful interpretation — it really moved me. You're absolutely right in sensing a tension between presence and disappearance, identity and distortion. I like working with these quiet frictions. The glass acts both as a lens and a veil, and the blur, in a way, is not just technical but emotional. I'm interested in what remains when we begin to disappear from ourselves. I don't usually explain too much, but your reading came close to what I hoped to evoke. Grateful for your words.
