“At every limit I was, pushing myself to the edge I could reach, and right at the bottom of every crag, I found the only person looking was myself!” Limits is a series that alludes to emotional limits. It is an exercise in self-analysis through self-portraits with a mirror effect, which aims to make the viewer see himself by showing these protective lines that define where we end and where others begin. The pieces show "borderlines" where a single character is found, referring to self-concept, our intimacy, the limit, the importance of our self-esteem, identity, and personal space.

Diana Rubi is a Cuban-American fine art photographer and visual artist captivated by themes of perception, human fragility, and the enigmatic nature of our emotions. As a self-portrait artist, her process is an intimate journey. Diana challenges herself to embody multiple personas, becoming both the creator and the character of her narratives. She utilizes evocative photomanipulation techniques, builds her own props, and enhances her photos with hand-drawn details, crafting surreal yet melancholic worlds.
