Object of Desire vs. Desiring Subject
Taking as its starting point an iconic image from Tiffany & Co.’s international About Love campaign—where Beyoncé is presented as a sculptural figure observed by Jay-Z—this series questions the persistent construction of women as objects of desire within fashion, advertising, and hegemonic visual languages.
Working alongside Alicia Delicia, a sex educator and sexfluencer, we directly engage with and reframe this logic. The work asks whether a woman can define herself as an object of desire while simultaneously affirming herself as a desiring subject. Can desire inhabit the female body through self-determination rather than through the male gaze?
The series also includes Fran, one of Alicia’s polyamorous partners at the time.

Women Beyond the Body / Selected Works
This body of work brings together photographs produced over more than six years and departs from the idea that our bodies remain a contested territory, a battlefield. It responds to the urgency of shifting the value assigned to women away from hegemonic ideals of beauty and toward the complexity of their personalities, capacities, and values.
I am interested in everything that unfolds outside dominant structures that reproduce women in limited and empty ways. The work traces a path that begins with intimate portraits of my friends in underwear, created in a space of play, trust, and complicity, where I introduce truth, character, and singularity into the visual codes of commercial photography. These works move from body positivity toward a notion of body neutrality and resist dominant frameworks such as victimization, hypersexualization, moral judgment, and objectification.
The project later shifts toward photographs produced in collaboration with Alicia Delicia, a Mexican sex educator, where the visual power of luxury advertising—historically associated with desire, consumption, and power—is reclaimed and subverted to propose another narrative: women as desiring subjects, defined on their own terms rather than as objects of desire.
