The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the urgent need for the One Health strategy, reminding us that human well-being cannot exist without caring for animals and the planet. The photographs in this work invite the viewer to explore fragile and irreplaceable relationships between people, animals, and ecosystems across cultures and landscapes. Katy Gómez intertwines veterinary science with the emotional power of photography, creating a narrative that is both scientific and poetic, and urging us to reflect on how each of us can contribute to building a shared and universal health for our planet.

Born in Ubeda, Spain and doctorate in Veterinary medicine. I am currently involved in official control in public health. Photography is part of my conception of enjoyment and I live it passionately. Mainly it is a photograph framed in the photo essay. I look at the world, not only to testify what I see, but mainly, to express a personal perspective, a point of view, an interpretation and not just a representation. My subjects are very varied being travel photography a common link in all my work.
