I grew up between two countries and never quite stopped moving. My father is Moroccan, my mother Spanish — I learned early that identity is something you negotiate at borders, not given at birth. I trained in Fine Arts in Madrid, then spent my twenties on overnight trains and cargo boats, shooting on film because I couldn’t afford to waste a frame. I still shoot like that. Every frame costs something. I am not a neutral observer. I don’t believe neutrality exists. But I do believe in rigor, in respect, and in staying long enough that people forget I’m there.
