"La nieta del cubano" (The Cuban's granddaughter) is a non-narrative project, a photographed memory intertwined in the past and in the present.
To do this, I bring together family archive images and my own images, all taken in the surroundings of the village of Touro, A Coruña, the place of origin of my maternal family. There is a generation gap between these images, and most of them are taken through the same instrument (the same 35mm camera). In this way I intend to weave a story in a non-linear, rather intuitive time and create a visual space-time open to transformations, to the coexistence of places, people and objects, an imaginary projection of time.
At the same time there is a research work and configuration of a family identity through the Galician landscape.
The landscape is full of meanings and symbolic values that make up our imaginary and with which I dialogue through photography.
Our environment involuntarily influences our conception of reality and our emotions. In this way I seek our own identity through a rural landscape, with its own personality and that feeds a metaphysical need for self-knowledge, back to the origin.
