El eco me engaña (The Echo Deceives Me) is a series of black-and-white photographs taken in the natural surroundings of Baja California. The project is based on the idea of echo as a metaphor for time: a return that is never identical, a repetition that is always transformed. Like life itself, each moment is lived only once, and what returns is merely a modified reflection, impossible to compare with the original.

In this transition between what is lived and what is remembered, the work questions what remains and what fades in memory. Human silhouettes blend with the sea and mountains, suggesting that the body is also an echo and that every presence holds within it an absence. Double exposure creates an ambiguous space where reality intertwines with imagination, giving the series a mystical and evocative character.

The project uses analog film and double exposure as its central strategy. More than a visual effect, this procedure translates the notion of echo into image: layers that return altered and create resonances in the emulsion. The black and white reinforces the timelessness and focuses attention on the light and texture of the landscape. Thus, El eco me engaña becomes an exploration of memory, time, and the unrepeatable nature of human experience.
