Matices de tu mirada (Nuances of your Gaze) is a visual narrative, inspired by Puerto Rico's poet Julia de Burgos (1914-1953). 

Balcazar honors with her black and white images the Puerto Rican poet who fought for women’s emancipation from the most intimate spheres to the broadest social scope.

“For seven years I was portraying with my lens the life and work of the great poet through the faces of women from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Brazil, Bolivia, the Amazon and the United States. Each of these women remembers the fight for equality, freedom, justice and the emancipation of women, from the most intimate point of view, just as the great Julia de Burgos did.”
