As an architect, I am interested in the idea of space, not much about design or construction but thinking about what it is, what does it means, how do we occupied it and so on. Being Latin American woman, was never part of defining myself before studying in London. After a while I remembered how my grandmother did not let me in the kitchen when I was a child and how it was considerate a feminine place but the women in my family were not supposed to cook, just supervise what was done there. 
Being in the city, walking around, taking the tube, really being part of it, was a new experience for me. One that felt completely different from the kitchen or my bedroom. I began to observe how I and other people behave in the realm of the private versus the public. In these images there are only two possibilities: black or white, private or public, secure or afraid; this is how I perceived a world that nowadays seems impossibly small.
