Venecia, Colombia

Growing up, my mother would send me to spend my summers in her hometown, Venecia, Colombia. It’s a rural area, full of fincas, farm animals, and friendly locals. In this small town, where everyone knows each other, it’s impossible to get lost—even if you tried. Returning to Venecia as an adult, I now see and appreciate the beauty and the welcoming energy of this place. Witnessing the town’s growth and revisiting familiar spots has been a sight to behold. I love my town and cherish the sense of home it gives me. Here is Venecia, through my lens.
