In the first week of December I bought a Christmas plant, to join in the celebrations around me. That year I travelled to Israel to celebrate Hanukkah with my family, the Jewish festival of light, which almost always coincides with Christmas. When I returned to Seville I found the plant on the table with its leaves dried up.
I felt the need to express this in photographs, through which I aim to give life to the leaves and to the imagination of whoever looks at them. It is the same creative process I was looking for in the Manchandomundo paintings, but now with photography: the dry leaves take flight and are transformed into insects, birds, animals, characters.
