This is a work based on the rebirth after surviving to a long disease. I got inspired by my mum, as she is a breast cancer survivor. As Fefi Martín Suárez (my mother) wrote in her book Un pulso con la muerte (An arm-wrestling with death): "You don't know your own strength until it rises up in a matter of life and death, in an arm-wrestling with her, an arm-wrestling with death".
I'm a self-taught photographer and visual artist from Gran Canaria. My pasion about photography started during my adolescence, when self-portraits became my therapy and the way-out of a bullying situation. I used to capture my feelings, venting my anxiety, anguish and fear. Nowadays, I still create self-portraits to express feelings and as a way of "artivism". My photos have been used for the CD "Bordeaux" and for the cover of two books in 2021 and I've worked in many projects for local governments and inter-island council of Canary Islands.
