Through the veil

This image has a strong mystical feeling — the beams of light cutting through the darkness, the figure at the center, and the circular woven textures around. It feels almost sacred, like a ritual or a timeless craft. and its only rice making, a tradition passed from generation to generation

About Artist

Marie Juliette Aziz

Marie Juliette Aziz Checa is a Mexican Fine Art photographer whose work reflects a deep passion for observing the world beyond the obvious. Through her camera, she seeks to stop time and capture unique moments that reveal beauty, movement, and emotion. Her work is distinguished by the use of intentional movement and multiple exposure, techniques that allow her to create images reminiscent of Impressionist painting. In them, light, color, and time come together to express a personal and contemplative view of nature and everyday surroundings. With a background in graphic design and a solid career in Fine Art photography, she has participated in exhibitions in Mexico, the United States, and Italy. Her work has been recognized by Steve McCurry in the international Life Framer competition and has received multiple mentions and awards in international photography contests and festivals. For Marie Juliette, photography is about pausing before what usually goes unnoticed and transforming it into an image that invites deeper observation.
