Her personal work is centered around projects. She published the book « The Lord of the Dolls : Voyage to Xochimilco» in collaboration with the writer Eva Hunter in 2009. It was the result of a ten year journey photographing the expanding and deteriorating landscape of Don Julio›s doll collection–a man who lived alone on a small island in the canals of Xochimilco. Currently she is five years into a project at the ex-Hacienda de Jaral de Berrio. Her work concentrates on experiencing and capturing the intense connection she has with the buildings and the distinct and personal vision she feels reflecting on its unique atmosphere of mystery and ambiguity– evoking ghosts and memories, a past buried in its walls where history has come to a halt.
