Statement from the “Ice” series
“Ice” is a series born from the contemplation of the ephemeral: scenes frozen just before they melt. I work with ice as one works with time: capturing it for an instant before it dissolves. I build small compositions with frozen blocks and natural elements—flowers, branches, fragments of the outside world—and then photograph them just before they disappear. What I capture is an unrepeatable moment, a fragile beauty that silently fades away.
I choose ice for its purity, its transparency, and its mystery. It is a material that never stops, that changes even as I contemplate it. To freeze something is to retain it, to suspend it in an illusion of permanence. But ice, like life, continues its course. What seemed intact soon begins its journey toward transformation and loss. The images in this series evoke interior landscapes: intimate, desolate, and magical spaces,
where time seems to have stopped. Sometimes figures emerge, inhabiting these invented worlds,
completing scenes that could belong to a dream. In this superposition of layers—of ice, of nature, of memory—I try to create a place to look, imagine, and,
above all, feel.
Just as ice slowly shapes landscapes in nature, in my work it also
transforms the elements it encloses, giving them a new, brief, and suspended form. In both cases, what we see is merely a moment within a larger cycle. This series engages
in dialogue with that silent and constant force: the one that transforms without us noticing, the one that advances even
in stillness. The landscape here is not pure nature, but a gaze, a sensitive construction
in the face of the immense and the uncertain.
Photographing these scenes is my way of pausing before the elusive. To return, again and again,
to that invented paradise that exists only in images and imagination. My intention is to invite
the viewer to enter that suspended universe, to pause, to wonder. To allow themselves to be carried away
by the mystery of what is about to disappear.
