In the archaeological area of Abusir (18km south of Cairo), there are many hospital-farms for horses where the animals are taken care of. I have been lucky of joining an archaeological project working nearby the area, and marvel every morning at the views, always the same and yet so different, and the symbiotic relationship between the silhouettes of the horses on the dunes, the sinuosity of the desert and the remains of the majestic Abusir pyramids.

Born in Barcelona in 1983. While doing a degree in History, specialized in Egyptology, she discovered her passion for photography and studied photography and professional lighting. She combined both passions for a living, working as an archaeological photographer in Egypt, with national and international archaeological projects in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan since 2006, and photographing daily life in Egypt during her working stays in the country. She has exhibited in Jaén and Alcalá de Henares, with the topics of the results of the Spanish archaeological projects she currently works with in Egypt.
