Throughout this investigation, I created various processes through the series “Biodesnudez”, where the sensual and sensitive exploration of the body come together with the Mexican biodiversity. Plant species, fragile, sensitive and luminous, are portraited alike the body inhabited by our desires. The intention is to intertwine endemic and endangered plants with textures of skin weaving them in a space of intimacy.
