She has published “Extasis”, which is her first book of poetry; Bentesicime, divinely illustrated, "El Efecto of Engranar", with paintings by Juan Felipe Benemelis and her photographs with her poetry. Recently she published "Raíces" that mixes poetry with essay and photography. All published by ARTahouse.

Photography was part of her daily life, today she continues to do it with a thematic and professional touch, beginning to participate in artistic events with her works.

The relationship between all the human beings surrounding her, and the nature that surrounds us and it’s almost invisible, are a constant motivation for her actions and projects, they are missions of love and conservation of life.

“Rural Miami” is one of those projects that allude to that nature that surrounds us and it is almost invisible. The photographs capture the existence of flowers as small as fleeting, responsible for attracting all kinds of insects that feed on them and thus pollinate and spread the life of the plant species, in that brutal struggle for an existence that is imposed in our yards. The beauty of these tiny flowers is extraordinary, it is almost criminal to mow the grass when one has known them and begins to understand the subtle ways of life on the planet, as each of them uses different resources of attraction and surviving.

The photographic product was achieved with a cell phone, a Samsung S7. The shots have not been processed or retouched in any image software medium. The set of printed images is a sample of the 150 to 200 quality images achieved, after "shooting" around 800 photographs in total.

The common or scientific names of the species photographed are not mentioned since it was not possible to complete all of them. As researchers we are, we know that it is better not to give any information than to make a half report.

Mission accomplished if admiring the beauty of these flowers in Irma's photographs encourages to look for them in your courtyards and verify in the real life the extraordinary nature that surrounds us.
