My photo is about the craziness in my mind. The overwhelming thoughts that you feel take over. It's about your confusion or all of your mistakes. I feel like this picture represents the “unknown” that can drive you crazy.
At first, I didn’t want the plate to be shown in the photo, but after looking at it more and editing it I ended up liking this picture with the plate a lot more than the others.
I think it creates a really cool border splitting my body in two. It looks like my legs are getting distorted or sucked into somewhere unknown.
My name is Luna, I’m a queer, boricua artist, baker, and poet, and more recently a photographer and darkroom lover too! I’ve been creating my whole life, but photography is a pretty new interest of mine as of 2 years ago, and I’ve been loving it ever since!
A lot of my photos are of my family and about my experience in this life, and I love to create soft and moody pictures. I have a lot of bad luck in the darkroom for some reason, but I’ve learned to use that as an advantage to get the murky moods I like!
This photo is of my siblings hands, they are passing an apple slice.
I wanted this picture to be warm, nostalgic even.
I think, sharing food with family is an intimate act, and I wanted to capture that.
Being close with your siblings is a beautiful thing, but there will always be a bit of grief knowing that the people who understand me the most, are growing up, and one day we’ll all move on.
So I’m glad I captured this little moment in time.
