The Street-Portraits Project sheds light on the stories hidden within our everyday attire. It delves into the clothing choices and our individual and collective identities, exploring how the ancient ritual of dressing up expresses our deep need for belonging and defines our social groups. It does not endeavor to define these groups but to inspire viewers and ignite the storytelling that unfolds in our minds as we observe people in the street. By combining portraits from a variety of places it also reflects on diversity within and across contemporary societies.

Retratos de Familia
80 Years of Mexico-Switzerland Diplomatic Relations
The Embassy of Mexico in Switzerland invites Mexican citizens and their families to participate in portrait sessions. This project will create a emotional map of the Mexican community in Switzerland, embracing diverse family structures—from traditional and single-parent families to those built on friendship and solidarity, as well as individuals who have forged new roots in this country. More than just a series of photographs, Retratos de Familia is an invitation to explore the richness of the Mexican migrant experience in Switzerland and celebrate the convergence of identities shaping the present and future of both nations.
