Time and memory have been something to continually fight for me, as well as for every conscious human being. The time that we count in our memory is not the same as a common clock, our memory tends to save that has marked us in one way or another, even a moment that has happened long ago can be remembered as recent or vice versa, as it happens in dreams, then do we live in a long dream? from which one day we wake up being even wiser and happier? Tempus is the representation of this magnitude as a liquid that makes us muddy and vanishes in our hands and we cannot grasp 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.
