Agua, ¿dónde vas?
(Water, where do you go?)
Water emerges everywhere. Feelings, moments and lives evaporate in the blink of an eye.
Agua, ¿dónde vas? is a personal project about “beginning and end”. The fluidity of entities. Body and mind. It is about Andalusian roots when I actually feel disconnected from them. It is about growth and an evolving vision of human relationships portrating either family members or strangers.

Manolita kissing “Jesusito” Nativity figurine / “Jesusito” ( Baby Jesus Figurine)
This picture was taken on the 24th of December of 2018 at 23:45. It was the last Christmas with my mother. The tradition at home is to kiss the baby Jesus at Midnight before putting the nativity together with Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph and the rest of the Figurines.
After the fourth month of chemotherapy treatments for liver cancer, my mother was exhausted at Christmas dinner and my nephew and I took her and dad to bed. Then we brought the baby Jesus figurine to bed to continue the tradition. As my mum took it, she kissed it repeatedly and said:
“Jesusito, Jesusito.. in the eighteen (year 2018) you have not behaved very well. So I’m going to give you more kisses this time hoping you are good and let me stay during the nineteen (2019)”.
“Out of Breath”
Mum is out of breath. Her lungs are flooded due to chemo.
Water flowing out of Roman fishing weirs. Part of Rota’s cultural and coastal treasures, these are large ancient stone structures that allow the water and fish in when the tide is high - and as the tide goes down the water goes as well, leaving the trapped fish behind.
