My name is Diana, I'm Ecuadorean currently living in Miami (for now). I'm in The United States since 2013, I lived in New York for one year, which by the way is an amazing city, so full of adventures, the colors, the craziness of the people and, I have to say, I truely met NY because of my dear love and friend FB. I know that is even a cliche, but New York City and its own stupid 'adventure soul
sister spirit', makes you wanna exploit and come back to you at the same time just for keeping eyes wide open, looking, touching, smelling, discovering the magic of the little tiny spots of every fu***ng corner of the city and yourself as well; is part of the searching-life-thing, it never gonna stop. In Brooklyn I did a short film with my friend Francisco Javier (from Ecuador too), for the NYU, we called 'borrowed' and it was about a ghost that steal your edges; the idea was to transmit that sometimes you can loose yourself in the way, sometimes you let things happen and you are just watching how your life, your dreams are taking away from you, and you do nothing about it, you pretend that life is good, yes sometimes is crap, but yes you are stupidly happy; and the thing is that in some point of our life we can loose everything inside selfs and sometimes there is no come back card, the ghost can take it forever, the time is now, this is our life and it is ending one minute at the time. So, at the end we showed at NYU installations, it was a total success. On the other hand, Miami is the city of the most amazing sunshines that I ever seen. I have been here since 2014, the beach really teaches you how to deal like a bitch, that is homemade style by SOBE. The weather makes people happy, I can tell, the warmness is not always the best; but men..., don't let me star with the coldness. I'm so tan now that my own family don't want to recognize me as one of them. The sun gives the best energies, we must take it and enjoy the sea. Living by the ocean is the nicest thing, to feel the breeze in your hair, in your nails, 'let's take a walk' is the always text at nite. The streets with sand makes me feel on vacations, on the feeling of 'everything is gonna be ok', and for sure it's not gonna but still there is more than one thing that worth the sacrifice. This country really knows how to punch you really hard, also how to makes you feel touched by the harm of the people and by the real love at the same time, everything is join in the same point, the weirdness makes me happy and close to feel more incomplete as well. I guess that is the way it is, is that what they call 'life'? I still don't understand the full concept and truly I think that I don't want to know. My plan A always ended in plan Z. Anyway, I always have my escape plan. I didn't ask and this thing just appear in my life, like a storm, I was blind of the brightness, I knew that this was the begging of something special. So, I'm here living the same adventures as you, doing me and being me, let's share our edges and try to fulfill this fu***ng world with some love. We all are in the same place, so let's do something that matters. Stealing moments in time since I open my eyes. Do more and more, want to join me? This not could be it, there is something more outside, it's perfectly hidden; but only the ones that have 'muchismo' as Alicia, are gonna be able to see it. (By the way, I'm a photographer and digital artist)
