There are fashion editorials that showcase clothing, and then there are editorials that build entire worlds.

Inspired by a visit to the iconic La Muralla Roja in 2018, the series transforms architectural memory into a surreal visual language. The influence is immediately apparent. Geometry becomes emotion.
