The daily things, the routine, sex in the life of a woman, are the subjects that she approaches in her artistic production. The Desire to carry on an alternate life, a double life, is redefined in these compositions. Putting daily scenes as background and the using erotic drawings of herself as foreground layers is as well the language or speech that she projects through a supposed duality of life.

It is not necessarily a feminist and social statement. It’s her own speech, intimate, introspective language of a woman who can undergo a crisis of identity roles. To be a mother, a career woman, a housewife, an artist, a lover or any typical role that a woman can take. There is no moralistic statement or any sense of protest to these roles. The same roles that have prevailed.

The visual essay resides in her own reality, which she confronts in a sense of self-criticism and self-analysis, added to a question with several answer. What am I and what I want to be.

Taking advantage of digital photography, Garcia Núñez presents photography to us as a simple resource, without exaggerating the photographic technique. She does disregards traditional photographic conventions per se. The digital photography becomes a mere visual document of a scene. The images that wrap or complement the speech, are manipulated in a minimal, raw and unrefined way, indeed; with little or no regard for the modern tools and techniques to edit and perfect digital photographs. She shows the mere intention of giving a simple, coarse, as a visual artisan. This idea does not interfere in her process of communication and easily convey the message.

She starts from the naked self-portrait, sometimes very suggestive in a naïve way. A sensual intention is evident in her work, very subtle but direct as well. Also there is a voyeuristic intention, intending for the spectator remain wishfull to see more. As if he were looking in through peephole. A game with the spectator is established; she proposes an idea of sex, beyond what he sees. It makes him think or imagine not from what he sees but of being able to read a little between lines of the image. The intention is also to make the spectator an imaginary participant of the scenario.
