Laundress is a self-portrait that represents humanity. A character that lives in time, that fights under a sun that gives life and sometimes death, that cleans what it has to be cleaned and lives without worrying about what tomorrow holds because always see and believe in hope, always look at what a new world could be like. It is like a painting in process, it is being built and evolving, and we all have our own vision of it.

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.
