In Spite of Everything — Part One.
A project that grew out of a two-month journey through the United States and Mexico in 2024. With a camera in hand and a willingness to listen, she met extraordinary women without looking for them. Back home, she saw what connected them and this project took shape.
The women in this project have all lived through much, each in their own way. What unites them is a deep resilience and the ability to, in spite of everything, make something beautiful of life. Rosalía, Doratriz, Karen and Melissa have more in common than they would ever know.
"I am still in contact with one of these women, Rosalía. She regularly sends me a gif with the message 'Have a beautiful day'. That is part of this project for me. It says a lot about the impact we have on each other as human beings."
The project combines photography, film, written text and personal archival material.
A limited edition publication was released.
"Connection is what my work has always been about. In this project I found that in the conversations I had and in the women who trusted me with their stories."
