    Silver in Editorial / Photo Essay

While wandering through Buenos Aires, the city gradually revealed itself through glass, reflections, and passing surfaces.
Reality breaks into layered fragments, where inside and outside blur and boundaries begin to dissolve.
In these moments, the gaze moves away from a direct view, and the city becomes a visual experience, with brief apparitions emerging within the flow of urban life, where what is seen is never fully fixed but constantly shifting between presence and perception.

I approached photography many years ago, initially to take photos during trips or special occasions. But then I felt the need to go beyond, to understand what photography truly meant. This led me to study at the Academy of Luciano Perbellini, a journey that completely transformed my approach to photography. Today, I don’t photograph just to capture a memory, but to express myself. Through images, I try to convey what words cannot say. I photograph because it makes me feel good; it’s my way to slow down, listen to myself, and observe the world around me.
