Recuerdos de mi corazón,

mi alma y mi amor

This series is a return to places that raised me and shaped who I am. Flea markets, carnicerías, and streets that exist between memory and reality. I photograph them not as they are, but as they live within me. Color becomes memory. Saturation, light, and contrast reflect how I saw these spaces as a child. They felt endless, glowing, almost unreal. What once felt expansive now reveals its fragility. The images hold a tension between wonder and loss, presence and disappearance. These spaces are not simply fading. They are being pushed out through gentrification, displacement, and neglect. What disappears is not just place, but culture, history, and belonging. What remains are fragments. Textures, colors, traces of life. These photographs become recuerdos. Not only memories, but souvenirs of something already slipping away. This work is an act of holding on. To place, to resistance, to love.
