Self-taught photographer Carlota Guerrero has been producing work for over a decade, gaining recognition in 2016 with her iconic portrait of Solange Knowles for the artist's album A Seat at the Table. This first book of her imagery showcases her evolving style and a compilation of her visual obsessions. It features texts by renowned collaborative partners such as musician Rosalía, Rupi Kaur, fashion designer Paloma Lanna, and writers Alejandra Smits and Leticia Sala, as well as an introduction by the artist herself.

Guerrero's work explores themes of femininity, gender, nature, human connections, the female body, patterns, and the Golden Ratio. The monograph collects her early work, stills from a performance piece that wowed at Art Basel Miami, a collaboration with poet Rupi Kaur, pictures from her project documenting the transgender community in Cuba, and more. At once subversive and ethereal, classical and distinctly individual, Guerrero's photography signals a young artist increasingly at home in a chaotic world and poised to take on whatever comes next.
