The work explores femininity, religious syncretism and cultural diversity. In 2017 the artist spent a year in the Afro-Mexican village of Costa Chica, in the house of Juliana, a lawyer, and her teenage daughter Veronica; it was Juliana who introduced her to the women of the community — healers, midwives, herbalists — and to the plants, among them the hoja santa, that hold their knowledge together.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
