Nayan
Spain / 2025 / 23'
Plot
In Sanskrit, Nayan (नयन) means "eye" and evokes a poetic dimension of perception and vision. This term also gives title to a song created by my Nepalese partner in 2015, Sandeep, while I, with my camera, sought to activate the void in the Chilean landscape, without questioning whether I had the right to materialize something foreign to my condition as a subject, thus perpetuating the privilege that sustained me. Ten years later, I revisit and denounce these acts, exploring how language, both visual and verbal, reveals our limitations and the invisible structures of power that shape us.

Her work has been presented individually and collectively in numerous contemporary art centers and at international film and photography festivals, such as International Filmadrid, (S8), PhotoEspaña, Mois de la Photo, and Encontros da Imagem.
