The objective is to showcase families that don’t make part of the mainstream representation, especially in more conservative Latin America.

A self-made artist, Ailyn’s sensitivity and ability to connect with the stories of the subjects she photographs, allows her to capture the genuine feeling of the moment without making it completely staged, ensuring that the photographs retain their authenticity and are presented as a story.
