About
Between 2015 and 2020, I was lucky enough to produce a remarkable set of photographs of a group of people who were at best, invisible to society and, at worst, the frequent targets of mistreatment.
I met with them consistently, carefully documenting their story and gradually becoming absorbed into their lives. Together, we have been through births, deaths, arrests, fights and the day-to-day struggles we all endure. I had expected to document the people in Sol, but I did not expect to like them so much or to be welcomed into their family.
This has been a baby step toward changing the negative perceptions of Romani people in Spain. Although, at the very least, the Romani community in Madrid has found an unlikely friend and ally. I am the lucky one, as they were easily the best thing that happened to me during my time in Spain.
