Ximena's bio
Ximena was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and started traveling at a very young age. After decades of moving around the world, her life has clearly influenced the way she looks at the people around her. She has always lived in big cities with a large floating population, which naturally led her to empathize with them. We all are migrants in different ways, moving around trying to improve our lot in life, as it has been since the beginning of times. She tries to capture this human dynamic in her photography, made of hopes fulfilled or shattered, with its drama and contradictions. The odyssey of human life.
