What did you dream about last night?
I rarely remember what I dream about : (
What inspires you?
Music, people with passion, old films, “the hopelessness of everything”, artists like Lasse Hoile, Vania Zouravliov, Teresa Margolles, Joel-Peter Witkin and Natacha Merritt.
Where do you live and what do you like about it?
I live in Puebla, Mexico…what I like about it is that I have some good friends here, all the surreal things that happen here, but to be honest, I don’t really like it here and I cannot wait to get out of here.

Not enjoying life as much as I should, being stuck in some job I hate, losing someone I love, killing an animal by accident.
