Parallel Universe brings together photographs taken decades apart, juxtaposing past and present within a single visual field. Images from different temporal moments coexist without hierarchy, creating a suspended space where memory and actuality overlap. The work does not seek comparison or nostalgia, but tension: time is fractured, and reality appears as a layered construction rather than a linear sequence. Photography becomes a device for confronting continuity, rupture, and the persistence of unresolved narratives..

General technique used for all works
Digital photographic composition based on the superposition of two original images:
A base photograph (background) remains almost intact, although relegated to a secondary visual plane.
A second photograph (the protagonist), divided into four vertical panels, floats above it, creating an effect of fragmentation, permeability, and spatial dialogue.
The panels act as “windows” that simultaneously conceal and reveal the underlying scene, generating a play between what is visible and what is suggested.
The final effect is a fusion of visual memories, accentuated by transparencies, cutouts, and differences in focus.
