This series explores the experience of being only partially seen: through a reserved temperament, through unmet expectations, or through a persistent sense of being slightly out of place.
It combines self-portraits made at home with photographs of the park I cross every morning. Using the same visual devices—reflections, shadows, and layers—the two bodies of work occupy opposite positions within the same structure of looking.
In the self-portraits, I am the one who appears fragmented, perceived through incomplete signs. In the park photographs, I become the observer, looking at a landscape that reveals itself only partially through reflections and transparencies.
As a Venezuelan who arrived in France as an adult, I have long experienced the landscape around me as both familiar and foreign. The park became a place where that distance could be observed rather than overcome.
Together, these images explore what remains inaccessible between the one who looks and the one who is seen.
