Children of fire

A generation is growing up on the edge of the end of the world. We are called the children of fire because we were born right in the middle of the environmental crisis. The world we know is nothing like the world of previous generations, or so they say.

Those of us born between 1994 and 2007 inhabit an Earth that burns, consumes and dies.

Children of Fire is a compilation of fragments about daily life, joyful and melancholic at the same time, that delve into the emotional complexity of my relationship with a world that is burning. As a consequence of the difficult transition to adulthood, as a stage that confronts me with the deterioration of the environment, an urgency to name and denounce the ways in which the environmental crisis is inscribed in me and in everything around me is born.

Through intimate photographs, I record an Earth where many other worlds coexist: mine, my partner’s, my friends, my family. From this plurality of landscapes that dialogue with each other, I explore how the climate crisis seeps into the smallest spaces of our lives to insist on the need to create futures that provide for our bodies, our memories and our identity.
