FOTOSSINTÉTICOS

Through images of plants digitally manipulated with intense saturation, dramatic contrasts, and inverted colors that distort their natural state, the project presents a metaphor for how experiences transform us.

 

The title plays with the duality between "PHOTOS" and "SYNTHETICS," evoking the process of photosynthesis and connecting it to the way our relationships shape us, generating versions of ourselves that are no longer entirely organic but altered by encounters and time.

 

The chromatic and textural manipulations are not just a visual aesthetic choice; they symbolize the impact of interactions on our identity. Like the plants in these images, we absorb, mutate, and reinvent ourselves in a continuous cycle of change. Each photograph serves as a synthesis of this inevitable process of transformation. In contemplating them, the invitation is to reflect on the fluid nature of human identity and how relationships can profoundly alter us.
