I have been studying various themes through my photographic lens, especially nature and abstractions. I try to always pay attention to the textures found in the world surrounding me. After hundreds of photos, I have discovered that there are three leitmotifs in the images that I capture: texture, decay, and nature.

Contemplating these concepts together, I have discovered that they converge in a cyclic manner. Nature exists with its own textures including those created by decay. Though at some point it seems the decay process takes over with its own intrinsic textures, the cycle continues on to make room for nature to reinvent itself in decay’s crevasses.

This photographic collection tries to show that side of nature that we don’t see every day, that of an agent of transition leading to a reclamation of the man-made spaces.

These images formed part of “Transiciones,” an exhibit presente at the Galería Delta Picó at the Liga de Estudiantes de Artes de San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 2006. All photographic works were shot on 35mm film and hand printed on fiber paper. The images on this website were produced from digital scans of the negatives.
