El espejo y la psiqué

Serie: "El espejo y la psiqué" Photograph taken during the first quarantine, inside my house in Brussels, where I reinterpret Berthe Morisot's painting "El espejo psiqué", which shows a woman looking at herself in a mirror. It was a moment when I was locked up in my house for a long time, unable to see anyone, and it served to look inside myself and connect with it, as if I was looking in my own mirror all the time. My house served as the scenary for my photographs, where for the first time I could see the light coming through my bedroom window during a spring sunset.
