"Vete a casa y que Dios te acompañe" (Go home and may God be with you) is a photographic essay about the abandonment of patients who suffer terminal illnesses and their right to a dignified death. The proposal explores the emotional, psychological, and social traumas derived from the forced cessation of palliative care in patients who suffer terminal illnesses, a terrible practice developed by medical institutions in some countries worldwide. Under the rules of a dehumanized bureaucratic power, these medical institutions decide how, when, and where individuals will pass away. In September 2021, while COVID-19 hit Cuba the hardest, I began to take photos of my father and some objects that accompanied him during his hospitalization period. These would be the last photos I would take of him. He died at…

"NOTHING’S MORE INTERESTING THAN REALITY. SO FROM ROUGH AREAS THAT NEVER SEE TOURISTS TO POOR NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE I CAN FIND CHAOS, I FIND BEAUTY.

On 14 November 2022, I held the VIP launch event for Aging Singapore, my photography exhibition featuring elderly individuals in Singapore. Esteemed guests, including exhibition sponsors, partners, and industry professionals, were gathered at the Fullerton Hotel Singapore for the event. While some were admiring the portraits on display, others were spraying and smelling the various fragrances placed next to each portrait or scanning the QR codes on the caption boards to listen to accompanying audio recordings for each portrait. For example, a portrait of a woman who loves hiking is complemented by a fresh, woody fragrance and the sounds of someone walking on a leafy forest trail. I have done a few photography exhibitions in my career as a professional photographer, but this is the first time I am doing…

Between 1992 and 1996, different mujahedeen factions fought to control the capital. Jod-e-Maiwand in Kabul was reduced to rubble in 1994 after Abdul Rashid Dostum, leader of an Uzbek faction, broke away from the Kabul government and sent his fighter jets in to bomb the capital. He joined sides with the Hezb-e-Islami of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, the ex-prime minister who had broken away from the central government a year earlier and who was now responsible for daily rocket-barrages into the city center. Kabul, 1993, Afghanistan. The implosion of Libya, Syria, and Iraq has gone hand in hand with the rise of Islamic State and groups such as al Qaeda. Many of those rebel movements have spawned from Afghanistan during the Cold War. Globalization has allowed the same forces driving Afghanistan’s fragmentation…

'American Bedroom is a cultural and anthropological study of Americans in their private dwelling: the bedroom. The nature of the project is unguarded portraits of individuals, couples, and families that reveal the depth of their character, truth, and spirit. The images are paired with poetic and pithy quotes from each subject and are full of subtle details that invite us to contemplate the idiosyncrasies of each enigmatic life. The scoop of the project is the entire United States. My interest lies in the poetic resonance of ordinary subjects, much in the convention of our forefather of the documentary tradition, Walker Evans. I follow his practice of photographing commonplace subjects, working-class Americans, beneath notice and yet the very fabric of our nation. I am passionate but not sentimental about America, as…

"There is, of course, a personal and direct involvement in the places that I later depict but(and) my artistic practice involves researching into historical archives looking for testimonials from other visitors, narratives, legal documentation, media that is deconstructed in order to re-build another reality that is linked to visual emotions and the narrative of images, objects, and graphics."- HARRY FISCH The Art of Disappearing tries to bring awareness of the languid evanescence of the Arbore tribe in Ethiopia, where their last 2,300 members are currently living. Modernizing roads and easier access for visitors are changing their way of life. Cultural disappearance is brought about by changes in the traditional way of life, from the means of transportation to the pollution of modern lifestyles." In the classical proposal, indigenous people are…
