SOUVENIR DE CASA
KEEPSAKES FROM PUERTO RICO
This collection is not a travel guide—it’s a quiet conversation with the land.
Souvenir de Casa is a photographic study of Puerto Rico’s landscapes, animals, and rhythms, captured during my time back on the island I call home. These images aren’t about people, but they are full of presence: local landmarks, graffiti, waves crashing against familiar rocks, chickens wandering across forgotten farmland. Through the lens, I document the textures of my homeland—not as a visitor seeking beauty, but as a Puerto Rican reacquainting herself with the island’s heartbeat. These are the souvenirs I brought back: sunlight, stillness, salt, and soil.
It’s a story of presence and distance, of visiting a place that never left me. Each image is a keepsake—not from a trip, but from a reconnection.
